dh-python already doesn't use upstream version requirements when automatically 
extracting dependencies, so you have to check those yourself regardless of how 
you do it.  This design decision was based on generally poor experiences with 
the accuracy of upstream version descriptions (using exact version 
requirements is very common in the upstream Python community and that 
generally isn't supportable in Debian).
