Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: wishlist
python-dev, pythonX.Y-dev and python-all-dev are normally only needed to
build C language extensions or to embed Python in an application. In
virtually all cases they are not required to build a package with only
pure Python modules.
Nonetheless, lots of arch:all-only packages build-depend on python*-dev.
It would be nice if lintian warned in such cases and suggested to
replace python$foo-dev with python$foo.
