python2-script-but-no-python2-dep
Packages with Python2 scripts should depend on the package
python2. Those with scripts that specify a specific version of
Python2 must depend, recommend or suggest on that version of Python2
(exactly).
For example, if a script in the package uses #!/usr/bin/python2,
the package needs a dependency on python2. If a script uses
#!/usr/bin/python2.7, the package needs a dependency on
python2.7. A dependency on python (>= 2.7) is not
correct, since later versions of Python2 may not provide the
/usr/bin/python2.7 binary.
If you are using debhelper, adding ${python2:Depends} to the
Depends field and ensuring dh_python2 is run during the build should
take care of adding the correct dependency.
In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends, will be more appropriate.
