+ pylint < 2.0 does not work with Python 3.7 at all (see bug #1785080). To
  support Python 3.7, pylint and the astroid library needs to be updated
  to >= 2.0. The major upstream release drops Python 2 support. Therefore
  we agreed on following keep compat with python2 while supporting 3.7 in
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=902631
  
  astroid: uses the 2.x branch, builds only python3-astroid
  pylint: uses the 2.x branch, builds only pylint3, pylint-doc
  NEW astroid2: remains on the 1.x branch, builds only python-astroid
  NEW pylint2: remains on the 1.x branch, builds only pylint (depending on 
python-astroid)
  
  This bug report is requesting a feature freeze exception for
  implementing it. This will upgrade pylint3 and python3-astroid to
  version >= 2.0 to support Python 3.7 while keeping the Python 2 version
  unchanged (but introducing new source packages).
  
  There are some packages that use pylint in their tests suites while
  building (e.g. devscripts).
