python3-script-but-no-python3-dep
Packages with Python3 scripts should depend on the package
python3. Those with scripts that specify a specific version of
Python3 must depend, recommend or suggest on that version of Python3
(exactly).
For example, if a script in the package uses #!/usr/bin/python3,
the package needs a dependency on python3. If a script uses
#!/usr/bin/python3.8, the package needs a dependency on
python3.8. A dependency on python (>= 3.8) is not
correct, since later versions of Python may not provide the
/usr/bin/python3.8 binary.
If you are using debhelper, adding ${python3:Depends} to the
Depends field and ensuring dh_python3 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.
