There are now two bug reports against those two packages: https://bugs.debian.org/831867 https://bugs.debian.org/831868 > IMHO lintian should throw an "Error" level warning if a file matching > /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/.coverage exists in a binary package. In the bug reports mentioned above there's also the idea mentioned that this might be fixed via the python packaging helpers. It still might be a good idea to implement a lintian tag for this to be able to identify this issue in already built packages.
