dh-python now generates dependencies on python2 instead of python

Show all headers | View raw

For Python2 packages, dh-python 4.20191017 now rewrites any python shebang to 
/usr/bin/python2 and generates dependencies on python2 instead of python.

The py2removal bugs have a section

"""
- If the package has still many users (popcon >= 300), or is needed to
   build another package which cannot be removed, document that by
   adding the "py2keep" user tag (not replacing the py2remove tag),
   using the debian-python@lists.debian.org user.  Also any
   dependencies on an unversioned python package (python, python-dev)
   must not be used, same with the python shebang.  These have to be
   replaced by python2/python2.7 dependencies and shebang.
"""

As seen with the recent python-crypto upload, the package now has no dependency 
on python anymore in the binary packages, and it doesn't have any python, 
python-dev build-dependencies anymore.

Also seen in python-crypto, the python2 autopkg test calls python, and fails 
because python is not a dependency of python-crypto anymore.  This needs fixing.

If we need to ship Python2 in bullseye, then the python, python-dev, python-dbg, 
python-doc, libpython-stdlib, libpython-dev binary packages will be removed 
before the release.

With that change, python-crypto is in a form to ship with bullseye (if 
python-crypto is still needed for some application that we want to keep). 
Application packages are likely to need a change in the build dependencies to 
ship with bullseye, if needed.
