Package: python3-numpy-dev Severity: normal Maintainers often don't understand whether or not an ABI dependency is necessary.
Fixing the missing-dependency-on-numpy-abi lintian check (#1094364) is the most important part since missing dependencies can cause breakage. But packages that needlessly build depend on dh-sequence-numpy3 (we already have such packages in the archive) should not require manual changes, dh_numpy3 should automatically detect whether or not an ABI dependency is necessary. dh_numpy3 should do something similar to missing-dependency-on-numpy-abi for determining whether or not an ABI dependency is necessary. A further step would be dh_python3 automatically calling dh_numpy3 when python3-numpy-dev is installed, removing the manual work as well as the need for a lintian tag that checks this manual work.
