Hello Debian Mentors,

I’m preparing to request a piece of software I maintain be made available on 
Debian and have been doing my homework trying to package it correctly. It’s a 
C++ binary, but comes with a Python wrapper for invoking it [0]. This script 
should run with either Python 2 or Python 3 and requires no non-standard 
modules, but I’m having trouble getting lintian to approve of it. In trying to 
pacify its warnings, I seem to keep causing new ones. The latest is 
missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon which seemed straightforward, but I’m 
having trouble resolving it. Is it possible I’m just going about this the wrong 
way? You can see my current fumblings around in the dark for the light switch 
at [1]. I have not packaged something for Debian before, so apologies if this 
question is answered elsewhere and my search skills failed me. If you have any 
time to point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
Matthew
