Control: clone -1 -2 Control: severity -2 wishlist Control: reassign -2 lintian Control: retitle -2 warn when using dh_python3 without explicit dependency
Dear Lintian maintainers, Currently, over 250 source packages in the archive call dh_python3 (either directly or through dh) without having a build dependency on it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718819#39 Would it be possible to make Lintian warn (or error? not sure what is appropriate) in such cases? This would hopefully make the resolution of #718819 smoother (as all such packages will FTBFS when it is fixed) Best, nicoo On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 04:51:29PM +0200, Nicolas Braud-Santoni wrote: > However, your issue can be fixed by removing the (circular) dependency of > python3 on dh-python; as Apollon noted in a previous mail [0], this requires a > Mass Bug Filling as hundreds of packages still use dh_python3 without > depending > on dh-python. > > [0]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718819#39
