I think this is a matter of taste and I tend to remove it due to DRY. In earlier times, you had to declare a debhelper addons in two places (Build-Depends and dh --with). Now you can enable it using Build-Depends alone. dh-python Provides dh-sequence-python3. Changing the dependency like that implicitly turns on --with python3. It doesn't hurt to keep dh-python in Build-Depends though. It just felt unnecessarily repetitive to me. Keep it or drop it. Both works for cross building. Helmut
