Howdy all,

I'm attempting to package a Python package according to the
python-central instructions
<URL:http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/python-central_howto.txt>. When
building the package, I get the following output:

=====
[...]
dh_pycentral
dh_link
dh_strip
dh_compress
dh_fixperms
dh_installdeb
dh_shlibdeps
dh_gencontrol
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${python:Depends}
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
=====

This is referring to the debian/control Depends field:

    Depends: ${python:Depends}

Earlier, I had

    Depends: ${python:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}

and 'dpkg-gencontrol' complained about every one of those.

Searching for information about this, I've seen references to
'packagename.substvars' that should be created during package
building. What is it that should be creating these? A missing 'dh_foo'
command?
