libdpkg-perl is already a dependency of debhelper, so I didn't have any objections in adding it to dh-python (which extends debhelper).
The problem is python3 package depends on dh-python - that's because dh_python3 script was provided by python3 package in the past and not all source packages that build python3-foo binary packages already build-depend on dh-python. You don't need dh-python if you don't want to build any package (and I suspect cloud images don't). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1494468 Title: wily cloud images too fat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-fcntllock-perl/+bug/1494468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
