Package: src:pybtex
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
src:pybtex currently produces a single binary package (pybtex)
containing the pybtex applications and public modules for Python 2.
However, packages such as sphinxcontrib-bibtex depends on the public
modules for Python 2 and Python 3. Please consider splitting the
packaging into separate pybtex (CLI), python-pybtex (Python 2 modules)
and python3-pybtex (Python 3 modules) binary packages, following the
guidelines from the DPMT.
The Python 3 modules are particularly important, given that Python 2 is
scheduled for removal for Debian Buster.
I am tagging this bug as severity important, since the current packaging
prevents using pybtex as a dependency for potential rdepends.
Cheers,
Ghis
