Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.8
Severity: serious
Justification: violates policy 7.2 regarding Recommends
In trying to use python-debian in one of my packages, I am going to have to also
depend on python-apt, since python-debian only suggests it. I think this should
be upgraded to a Depends, but to satisfy policy should be at least a Recommends
since a lot of the functionality in python-debian depends on python-apt.
Of the 6 modules in debian_bundle, 3 of them (changelog, debian_support, and
debfile) won't import without python-apt being installed. These seem to all
relate to the debian_support module always importing apt_pkg, and changelog
always importing debian_support, and debfile always importing changelog. I
consider half the functionality being broken to justify a dependency upgrade,
and thus the severity of this bug.
Alternatively, and much more work, if the use of these global imports was
reduced to only where it is needed, then most of the functionality would still
work. This would be more difficult to maintain though, which is why I suggest
upgrading the dependency.
Thanks,
Cameron
