Don't worry: dh_pysupport is run automatically by dh -- if you're not installing things in PYTHONPATH, it does nothing. And no, you won't get a python dependency with it :) > http://deb.li/dhs2p recommends that I add "--with python2" to my > "./debian/rules".

You shouldn't add "--with python2", and your Build-Depends is perfectly fine. Try to build your package in a clean chroot: you'll probably won't have that message anymore. Kindly, David -- . ''`.
