Tag: new-package-should-not-package-python2-module
Severity: warning
Check: languages/python
Explanation: This package appears to be the initial packaging of a new upstream
software package (ie. it contains a single changelog entry). However, it
ships the specified module for Python 2.
.
Python 2.x modules should not be packaged unless strictly necessary (such
as being explicitly requested by an end-user or required as part of a
dependency chain) as the 2.x series of Python is due for deprecation and
will not be maintained by upstream past 2020 and will likely be dropped
after the release of Debian <code>buster</code>.
.
If upstream have not yet moved to Python 3, please be certain that Debian
would benefit from the inclusion, continued maintenance burden and eventual
removal of this package before you upload.
.
This warning can be ignored if the package is not intended for Debian or
if it is a split of an existing Debian package. This warning can also be
ignored if viewed on https://lintian.debian.org/.
.
Please do not override this warning. Instead, add a justification to your
changelog entry. Lintian will detect your comment in the changelog. It ensures
that your rationale is preserved for posterity.
