[Pkg-linaro-lava-devel] Bug#866504: src:django-compat: Excessive build-depends complicate python3 transition

[Scott Kitterman]

Package: src:django-compat
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

This package build-depends on python3 dev packages even though it has no
arch:any Python3 content.  This is not needed and complicates transition
trackinig for us, the python maintainers, (which is why I'm filing this as
important) [1].  As you can see, the package shows up as affected by the
transition when, in fact, it isn't.

Please see the attached patch.  I have written the debian/changelog in the NMU
form, but have no immediate intent to NMU.  Patch not build-tested due to
bug #865661, but it should work fine.  It would be appreciated if you could
address this when you address #865661.
