An example is https://sources.debian.org/src/node-constants-browserify/1.0.0%2Bdfsg-8/debian/postinst/ Though it would mean runtime dependency on protobuf-compiler.

Yes, via pydist files, see /usr/share/doc/dh-python/README.PyDist They are consulted when translating Python .dist-info/.egg-info requires into Debian dependencies. You can see a (more complex) example in cffi: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-cffi/-/blob/master/debian/gen-backend-versions.py SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
Bug#1031716: Generating stricter dependencies on python3-protobuf rdeps
Hi, the problem in #1031716/#1028371 is as follows: 1. python3-protobuf and protobuf-compiler are both built from src:protobuf 2. packages using python3-protobuf (e.g. python3-bernhard) ship files that were generated with protobuf-compiler during their build (e.g. /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bernhard/pb.py ) 3. The generated files in python3-protobuf rdeps like python3-bernhard might not work with python3-protobuf from a different major release of src:protobuf The manual solution for packages like python3-bernhard would be Build-Depends: protobuf-compiler (>= 3.21), protobuf-compiler (<< 3.22), python3-protobuf (>= 3.21), python3-protobuf (<< 3.22), Depends: python3-protobuf (>= 3.21), python3-protobuf (<< 3.22), Creating an own debhelper addon similar to dh_numpy3 would work for automatically creating such dependencies, but is there any way for python3-protobuf to inject such versioned runtime dependencies into python3:Depends that does not require every rdep to manually add addon usage? Thanks Adrian
