Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20140817
Severity: normal
dh_pysupport is routinely executed by the build target, even when the package
doesn't contain any Python file.
Personally, I find it hard to imagine how that would be a feature, so I'm
reporting this as a bug.
Of course, if there's any rationale for this, I would love to hear it.

Hi,
I am taking the liberty of closing this bug now, as:
* debhelper in compat 9 will *not* default to using python-support
anymore. (see man 7 debhelper)
* The dh_pysupport tools is (now?) obsolete and will generally be
replaced by dh_python2. According to lintian, less than 150 packages
are still using dh_pysupport (as least that lintian is able to
detect)
Thanks,
~Niels
