Package: python-requests Version: 2.9.1-1 Severity: normal Hi there,
python-requests (build-)dependencies on urllib3 are too restrictive, in a way which doesn't allow backporting without tweaking (build-)dependencies. Instead of writing something like this: python-urllib3 (= 1.13.1-1) please write something like this: python-urllib3 (>= 1.13.1-1~), python-urllib3 (<< 1.13.2) so that we don't need to "fix" the dependencies when doing a backport. Please note that the fact requests is already maintained or not within the official Jessie backports isn't relevant. Here, I needed to do backports to Trusty, and one may want to backport to another derivative of Debian. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
