Derive package dependencies from Setuptools declarations

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

How can I convince ‘dh-python’ to derive package dependencies from the
Setuptools ‘install_requires’ declaration?

The Pip requirements tend to be tightly restrictive, because Pip is not
a distribution system but rather a deployment system. So those
requirements tend not to be good candidates for Debian's versioned
dependencies.

The Setuptools ‘install_requires’ declaration is a better candidate for
this, since it is metadata for the *distribution* (not deployment); this
better matches Debian's purposes for package dependencies.

See  for a
discussion of these complementary and different purposes.

How can I convince ‘dh-python’ to derive Debian package dependencies
from the Setuptools ‘install_requires’ declaration? For example,

declares dependencies that ‘dh_python2’ does not detect; the resulting
binary has none of the Python dependent packages declared.

RFS: gladtex: new upstream version 2.1

[Sebastian Humenda]

Hi

I have packaged GladTeX 2.1 from :

 GladTeX is a preprocessor that enables the use of LaTeX equations within HTML
 files. The equations, embedded in ... tags, as if within $$..$$ in
 LaTeX, is fed through LaTeX and replaced by images.
 .
 Additionally all images get an alt-tag for alternative texts that contains the
 LaTeX-equivalent of the image. This is handy for text-mode browsers or blind
 people using a screen reader.

It builds the binary packages python3-gleetex and gladtex and has been checked 
to be
lintian-clean. It also builds fine in a clean pbuilder chroot.
It would be great if you could have a look and upload the package, if
everything is as expected.

Thanks
Sebastian
