Bug#592491: lintian: check for missing dependency on python-support
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist
If a binary package ships files in /usr/share/python-support/, it should
have at least unversioned dependency on python-support.
If a binary package ships a /usr/share/python-support/PACAKGENAME.public
or /usr/share/python-support/PACKAGENAME.private file, it should have
dependency on at least python-support (>= 0.90).
An exception should be made for:
- python-support (it shouldn't depend on itself, of course);
- every FOO-dbg that depend on FOO (= SAMEVERSION).
Normally missing/insufficient dependency on python-support indicates
that ${python:Depends} was omitted from Depends: in debian/control.

Building Python debug extensions with dh
A mentor recently proposed that I ship -dbg versions of a Python extension. Researching on how to properly do so, it appeared that there was no standard approach to this. On the contrary, I found numerous differing implementations, with quite a few exhibiting some flaws. I chose to follow the approach taken in python-djvu. With extensive help by Jakub Wilk, I polished my internal documentation and posted it to: http://wiki.debian.org/Python/DbgBuilds Some noteworthy issues we encountered: * Relationships between regular extension, debug extension and debug interpreter should be reevaluated. Currently, -dbg uses Recommends: for the debug interpreter and any required extensions (rationale in wiki) * It would be great if #589759 would see some additional feedback so the issue can properly be resolved * It appears that more packages have gotten the issue in #576014 wrong that right.

Bug#592533: lintian: check for missing dependency on python-central
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist
If a binary package ships /usr/share/pyshared-data/PACKAGENAME file, it
should have dependency on at least python-central (>= 0.6).
Normally missing/insufficient dependency on python-central indicates
that ${python:Depends} was omitted from Depends: in debian/control.

True. It works out-of-the-box if use you python-central, dh_python3, dh_python2, dh_python(1), or if you don't use any helper at all. -- Jakub Wilk signature.asc Description: Digital signature
