Source: kcov
Version: 43+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Justification: packages must not depend on python-is-python3
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
The package description of python-is-python3 clearly indicates that no
package may depend on it. Instead, python3 should be used for invoking
Python. kcov already does this (despite having a few scripts with a
#!/usr/bin/python line), so the dependency can simply be dropped.
It also happens that this dependency prevents cross compilation.
