This seems like a packaging bug that is a reasonable candidate for a
lintian check. I'm happy to submit such a wishlist bug to lintian.
Can you help me characterize the problem?
Would it be a reasonable test to say that the following test is an
indication of the bug?
A) in debian/control: if the source package build-depends on
python-all, but any of the binary package stanzas do not have Depends:
${python:Depends}
or would it be better to describe buggy packages as:
B) debian/rules mentions --with-python2, but any binary package in
debian/control does not have Depends: ${python: Depends}
or is there some other better formulation?
Lintian has already this:
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/python-depends-but-no-python-helper.html
Implementing the reverse, i.e. python-helper-but-no-python-depends,
should be very straight-forward and give good results.
