In stretch the dh addon is (wrongly) in the Python 2 module package, that's the only reason why we ended up with the python-scour -> scour dependency. > > but we can also check for > > python-scour.

Looking at scenarios like stretch-backports, it might be easiest to consider python-scour build dependencies as fine here for now and handle them after buster with the general Python 2 removal. > Thanks, > ~Niels cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"

As I understand it, that dependency is a temporary measure to avoid breakage but the plan is to remove the dependency (i.e. packages will be required to build-depend directly on "scour" for the add-on). I have taken the liberty of CC'ing Martin (maintainer of scour) to clarify the situation. Thanks, ~Niels

We can't do a wildcard (!) but we can also check for python-scour.

Bug#898077: lintian: False positive in missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon, python package
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.55 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When building laditools, the missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon lintian warning is received because scour is not a build dependency when the scour dh addon is used in debian/rules. However, python-scour is a build dependency and pulls in the scour package. Lintian should perhaps check of there is a python package that meets the dependency requirement? Or allow e.g. "*scour"?
