Package: lintian Version: 2.5.118 Severity: normal As I've discussed before in lintian bug reports, I think lintian tags should be actionable. This one isn't, but I have an idea.
What if the description were updated to suggest adding an override for that it's known aren't being ported to python3 for one reason or another. That would let people know it's safe to ignore the package in the future when checking for things that need to be ported/packaged for python3 and give a clearer picture of what needs to be removed when python2 goes.
