Package: dh-python
Version: 6.20250414
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi,
In debhelper/13.26, `dh_assistant list-guessed-dh-config-files` will now
report `debhelper` commands that does not declare which config files it
supports. As an example:
```shell
$ dh_assistant list-guessed-dh-config-files
{
"commands-not-introspectable": [
"dh_autoreconf",
"dh_strip_nondeterminism"
],
# ... more JSON here, omitted for brevity
}
```
This is in turn used by `debputy migrate-from-dh` to warn people when
`debhelper` config files might be overlooked.
I believe this bug can be fixed by filling out the following template
and adding it in the `dh_python` command (the file found PATH - imports
are not followed):
```
# INTROSPECTABLE: CONFIG-FILES pkgfile(bcep) pkgfile(...)
```
My argument here is that:
1) The helper can never be skipped (so NOOP promise is not valid)
2) The helper reacts to `debian/<package>.bcep` and similar
If either of these are false, then please review `doc/PROGRAMMING.md` in
debhelper/13.26 for alternatives or reply back to me for assistance.
Note: I did not do a full analysis of which files are supported by
`dh_python3`. Remember to tweak my example template above.
Best regards,
Niels
