Package: python2.7-dbg Version: 2.7.3~rc2-2.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The Description of this package is not very good: Description-en: debug build of the Python Interpreter (version 2.7) Python interpreter configured with --pydebug. Dynamically loaded modules are searched in /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/debug first. 1. It fails to mention the debug symbols for the production build of Python 2. I have no clue what it's trying to communicate by mentioning that path; I haven't got any directory there, and my first take on this statement was that the use of the word "first" implied that it would fall back to loading normal extensions. (For some reason, it even gets as far as loading them before realizing there's a missing symbol and giving up.) 3. It doesn't mention the fact that the debug interpreter has a different ABI from the regular one, and thus all extensions need to be built for it. 4. It would probably be a good idea to reference README.debug -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python2.7-dbg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-4 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libdb5.1 5.1.29-5 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-1 ii libncursesw5 5.9-10 ii libreadline6 6.2-8 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.13-1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-4 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 ii python2.7 2.7.3~rc2-2.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 python2.7-dbg recommends no packages.
