Package: fish
Version: 2.4.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello, there.

Fish, as packaged under Stretch, does not require nor recommend any Python
interpreter. As the manpages completions generation script is a Python script,
no completions are generated from manpages, and each shell opening displays the
following error:

fish: Unknown command 'python -B
/usr/share/fish/tools/create_manpage_completions.py --manpath --progress
--cleanup-in ~/.config/fish/c
ompletions --cleanup-in ~/.config/fish/generated_completions'
/usr/share/fish/functions/fish_update_completions.fish (line 2):        python
-B $__fish_datadir/tools/create_manpage_completions.py -
-manpath --progress --cleanup-in '~/.config/fish/completions' --cleanup-in
'~/.config/fish/generated_completions'
                                                                        ^
in function 'fish_update_completions'
        called on standard input

I don't know very well the process for such a change, but it could be useful
for newbies to have such a dependance automagically managed by APT tools, as
Depends and Recommends are designed for such cases.

Regards.
