Package: src:ust Version: 2.9.0-2 Severity: important Tags: patch This package build-depends on python3 dev packages even though it does not use Python3 header files. This is not needed and complicates transition trackinig for us, the python maintainers, (which is why I'm filing this as important) [1]. As you can see, the package shows up as affected by the transition when, in fact, it isn't.
Please see the attached patch. I have written the debian/changelog in the NMU form, but have no immediate intent to NMU. I did test build this and it looks like it still builds correctly. Scott K [1] https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python3.6-supported.html
