Package: mwc Version: 1.7.2-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch The package has way more python in build-depends and depends than it needs. One consequence of this is that it shows up in the list of packages needing a rebuild for the python3.5 transition [1] when, in fact, it doesn't.
Please see the attached patch the cleans things up (including a redundant call to dh_python3). If you check, it still ends up building the same package with the same effective runtime depends. Please apply soon as we are getting ready to start the transition and it would be nice to get this off the list. Scott K [1] https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python3.5.html
