Subject: please invoke dh_python3 for python3-foo binary packages

Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:44:11 +0200

Package: debhelper
Version: 8.0.0
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dh

Please invoke dh_python3 (if available¹) for all python3-* binary
packages in dh sequencer.

There's "--with python3" available, but it should not be default due to
possible private directory conflicts (f.e. /usr/lib/package/ will be
picked up also by dh_pysupport, dh_pycentral and dh_python2).

It would also make sense to pass -N python3-foo to (invoked by default)
dh_pysupport (in case python3-foo package provides also private
directories, dh_pysupport ignores only public python3.X packages)

[¹] all packages that build depend on python3, python3-all or
    python3-all-dev will have it

actually... ignore this part, I will upload python-central and
python-support new versions that will ignore python3-* packages

I don't really understand what you're suggesting dh do. Perhaps a patch,
and *much* more explanation about how your suggested change cannot
possibly cause a single package in the archive to break?

simply run `dh_python3 -p python3-foo` for every python3-*
binary package. I'll try to provide a patch this weekend (I want to work
on these¹ packages first, though)

Ok, closing this bug then.  If this change, let us know. :)
