+Tag: debian-rules-uses-installed-python-versions
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/rules
+Explanation: The package appears to use <code>py3versions -i</code> to determine
+ the "installed" Python versions.
+ .
+ However, this can cause issues if a Python transition is in progress
+ as the <code>-minimal</code> variant of the previous version
+ (eg. <code>python3.X-minimal</code>) remains installed in many environments.
+ This variant then provides enough of an interpreter to count as being
+ "installed" but not enough for the tests themselves to succeed in most
+ cases. This then prevents the overall transition from taking place.
+ .
+ Please replace this will a call to all "supported" packages instead
+ (eg. <code>py3versions -s</code> and ensure <code>python3-all</code> is listed
+ in the build dependencies.
