Example: https://packages.debian.org/sid/python3-kivy

-
>
> dep: python3 <https://packages.debian.org/sid/python3> (<< 3.7) dep:
> python3 <https://packages.debian.org/sid/python3> (>= 3.5~)


The ">=" surely means "greater than or equal to", but what is "<<"? "less
than or less than"?

Even more interesting is that "aptitude install python3-kivy" only shows
one "<" (which makes sense to me as "less than"):

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
>  python3-kivy : Depends: python3 (< 3.7) but 3.7.2-1 is installed
>

and in the description of the package in the aptitude console:

Depends: python3-gst-1.0, python3 (< 3.7), python3 (>= 3.5~), ...
>

It's not a typo, unless other pages have similar typos (sometimes being
">>" - "greater than or greater than"?).

Also, is the answer documented somewhere? I've researched unproductively
for several hours.

Thanks!
