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.
what about binary packages that are named python-* ? can we safely
expect them all to Depend: on ${python:Depends} ?
I have such name-based check implemented in lintian4python. It sort of
works, but I had to filter out at least:
- dependency/transitional packages;
- -dbg packages;
- -dev packages;
- documentation packages;
- python-support, python-central;
- packages built from src:python-defaults.
And I'm pretty sure there are still false positives...
