Package: python-magics++
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi, python-magics++ depends on python and python-numpy directly,
instead of using ${python:Depends}.
Practically, this isn't a serious issue, as python-numpy depends on
python-support, and even without that, there's a very high chance that
python-support is already installed on any system this would be used on.
However, it is still a policy violation and a bad practice.
${python:Depends} will expand to the python versions this package
supports, as well as the necessary dependency on python-support.
I suggest:
| - Depends: libmagplus3 ( = ${binary:Version} ), ${misc:Depends},
${shlibs:Depends}, python, python-numpy
| + Depends: libmagplus3 ( = ${binary:Version} ), ${misc:Depends},
${shlibs:Depends}, ${python:Depends}, python-numpy
When(?) this package transitions to dh_python2 it'll expand to the
equivalent dependencies. (dh_python2 also has ${python:Breaks} which can
use specify supported pythons as a Breaks instead of versioned Depends).
