Package: debhelper
Version: 13.8
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have a package, gensio-bin, which contains one seldomly used debugging
utility. I would therefore like to not hard Depend on python and have
added ${python3:Depends} to the Recommends line. That however ends up in
a warning from dpkg-gencontrol:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Recommends field of package gensio-bin: substitution
variable ${python3:Depends} used, but is not defined
and no dependency on python at all.
Is that the intended behavior?
If it's not debhelper proper expanding ${python3:Depends}, then please
reassign to the appropriate package. Thanks.
Greetings
Marc

I confirm this. I don't know what I did wrong.

So your recommendation is to remove that completely from my control
file?
