Lintian has already this:
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/python-depends-but-no-python-helper.html
Implementing the reverse, i.e. python-helper-but-no-python-depends,
should be very straight-forward and give good results.
how should the reverse test deal with source packages that use dh
--with=python2 that provide multiple binaries? should all binary
packages include ${python:Depends} in that case, or will we be
introducing a false-positive somewhere (e.g. on documentation packages,
or on packages that build both a C library and its associated python
bindings)?
Insisting that all binary packages should have ${python:Depends} will
cause tons of false positives; let's not go that way.
I think Lintian should emit the tag only if none of the binary packages
have ${python:Depends}. This is not bulletproof, but should catch most
mistakes.
