#9967 — Python Programs policy (§4.2) requires dependency on python2 which doesn't exist

Message-ID<uGI3o-4wi-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
The Debian python policy §4.2 has a MUST directive for a dependency on
python2, which does not exist at all.

I'm guessing that this was at some point in time a virtual package or
similar provided by the default python2 interpreter? Not sure. Anyway,
would be good if that was fixed.

[I ran into this while packaging autorandr and trying my best to follow
policy.]

Thanks.  It's a typo (should be python).

but it is perfectly fine to use python2 as the shebang.
