Package: pytest Version: 4.6.9-3 x-debbugs-cc: vangua...@packages.debian.org
As discussed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=937769 the maintainer of the python-funcsigs source package (which builds the python-funcsigs, python3-funcsigs and pypy-funcsigs binary packages) would like to get rid of the python-funcsigs source package completely rather than simply removing cpython 2 support from it. pypy-pytest depends on and the pytest source package build-depends on the pypy-funcsigs package. I am assuming that removing the dependency on this package would mean dropping the pypy-pytest binary package. checking reverse dependencies with dak reveals. # Broken Build-Depends: python-atomicwrites: pypy-pytest python-pluggy: pypy-pytest python-py: pypy-pytest setuptools-scm: pypy-pytest vanguards: pypy-pytest wcwidth: pypy-pytest most of these seem to be python module packages that are maintained by the python modules team and build pypy modules to directly or indirectly support pypy-pytest. vanguards on the other hand is an application which I assume relies on pytest for it's testsuite. So I guess the question is whether it is worth keeping this pile of pypy modules around to support the testsuite of one application?
