Bug#942658: lintian: False positive for Python 2 python-package-missing-depends-on-python

[Andreas Bombe]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.28.0
Severity: normal

I'm starting to get a python-package-missing-depends-on-python error on
a package that didn't have it in its previous revision (with only minor
changes).

Comparing the built packages shows that the latest version of dh-python
now generates dependencies on python2 instead of python. However,
lintian only considers python and python-minimal as a valid Python 2
dependency.

Adding python2 and python2-minimal to the list of Python 2 package names
should be sufficient to fix this.
