Package: lintian Version: 2.5.21 Severity: wishlist dh_python2 and dh_python3 are moved to new dh-python binary package.
python3 depends on this new package, python cannot do that (newer dh_python2 is implemented in Python 3.X and shares codebase with dh_python3, requiring python3 to install python is not an option). python package provides an older copy of dh_python2 for the time being. These are temporary solutions, the goal is to have dh-python in all packages that use dh_python2, dh_python3 or new dh_pypy. I hope to achieve that by promoting new dh buildsystem: pybuild which is also available in dh-python binary package, but in the meantime, it would be nice if lintian warned about this (missing) build dependency as well. Attached patch updates package names and adds dh_pypy, I'm not familiar with lintian's code so I don't know if that's enough, but it's a start for sure. Thanks for working on lintian!
