python-package-depends-on-package-from-other-python-variant

Either the specified Python 3.x package declares a dependency on a Python 2.x package, or the specified Python 2.x package depends on a Python 3.x package.

This is likely a typo in debian/control or due to misconfigured calls to, for example, dh_installdocs --link-doc=PKG.
