Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120608 Severity: minor
If pyversions fails (e.g. because the maintainer "forgot" to build-depend on python), then dh_auto_* issues some warnings[0] but doesn't fail. This sometimes causes in broken (empty) binary packages, see. e.g. #681583, #683458. It would be better if dh_auto_* failed in such situation.
