I agree. But maybe there are more changes in git, which in sum are worth an
upload :)

I don't think deleting pycompat and pyversions is worth an upload.  They are 
obsolete and should be removed, but don't actually hurt anything.

I was actually thinking about integrating that removal to Ondřej's
next mass-update (along with debian/pycompat) and if the packages are
not released in the next 2 months or so, I was planning to do some
team uploads on them (I saw some that have not been touched in a while
and that would benefit from a big cleanup).

The lintian tag would help getting the number easily! ;)

One of my thoughts about introducing it on info level is that we
should probably update https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Policy (I'll
start a separate thread on that) before having it on error level as
the page still shows examples with old/deprecated build systems.

Another reason to put that in lintian is that we still have all the
openstack python package to migrate to DPMT and those have a bunch of
pycompat and pyversions file that a lintian note about it would help
not forgetting that when we migrate those (I'll try to do some when I
got more spare time).


Thanks,

(imho) lintian tag is still good idea. In future we can change it to
"error" to prevent re-entering archive.

Ondrej, what's the list of packages?

As Ondrej wrote, there's only a few packages having this. How about we
just do a few NMUs as a team to fix that completely in the archive?

Ondrej, what's the list of packages?

Addition in lintian to warn about debian/pyversions file

[Joseph Herlant]

Hi guys,

FYI I am requesting a new lintian tag to warn about the presence of
the debian/pyversions file as it is supposed to be obsolete since
dh_python2 [1].

According to the policy[2], we are supposed to use the
X-Python3-Version field in debian/control to specify the version now.

Please let me know if that is an issue for you.

Bug report: #898592

Thanks,
Joseph
