Hi,

python-support is mostly deprecated in favour of dh_python2.  Please consider converting to it, patch attached.

  * Convert to dh_python2:
    - debian/control: Removed python-support from Build-Depends-Indep.
    - debian/rules: Added --with python2 to complete transition. 


Thanks for considering the patch.

Hi,

Please can I ask for additional reasoning?  The package is already
using dh_python3, it would seem logical to convert to dh_python2 in
addition.

It would seem that this also simplifies the build process, being able
to drop an additional build depends.

python-support is declared deprecated [0], is there something I am
missing?

Thanks.
