Bug#1119268: linux: please replace call to historic "py.test" command with calls to "pytest"

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Source: linux
Version: 6.16.12-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainers,

"py.test" was spun out of PyPy's "py" librairy ~20 years ago.

In 2016 "py.test" was renamed "pytest".


I am maintainer of the old "python3-py" that is now abandonned upstream.

I'm currently untying this package from the distribution.


The 'py.test' compat symlink is in fact provided by python3-pytest

  $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/py.test
  python3-pytest: /usr/bin/py.test


... but still removing these three extraneous dots from
the packaging would help triage the matches from Debian Code Search.

(Maybe this compat link will be dropped someday too)


Here is a mock patch made from the edited results of Debian Code Search.

Greetings,

Alexandre
