--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.65.0 Severity: normal The package python-pip-whl is a special case of a Python package built to work with either python or python3. Currently python3-vertualenv gets the following lintian warning: W: python3-virtualenv: python-package-depends-on-package-from-other-python-variant Depends: python-pip-whl While this is a great warning in general, in this case it's wrong. Would it be OK to special case python-pip-whl and have it not trigger this check? Scott K

Thanks; I believe this is the right call, especially as it puts the documentation of the exception in the place exactly where the "next" developer would be looking for it.
