Do you have a log of such a failure?

Well, in fact I have no idea of what ${python:Depends} actually means. I
simply saw that dpkg-gencontrol was complaining about:
warning: package autojump: unused substitution variable ${python:Depends}
I did not find anything about my exact case in the Python packaging
policy, but I found that some packages had to list ${python:Depends} in
their Depends field. I tried it, and dpkg-gencontrol stopped
complaining. Maybe dpkg-gencontrol was simply complaining incorrectly
and I should simply revert my change.

Thanks, this seems a good way to indicate it!
