[Bug 1389283] Re: dh-python 1.20141026-1ubuntu1 incorrectly handles gi package names

[Stefano Rivera]

I'd argue that the issue here is that "Requires: gi.repository.GLib" is
incorrect. There is no such package on PyPI, so the requirement will
never be satisfied.

Using pydist overrides, as you've done in pasaffe, seems reasonable.

Title:
  dh-python 1.20141026-1ubuntu1 incorrectly handles gi package names

Status in dh-python package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1.20141026-1ubuntu1 introduced support for guessing dependencies from
  the egginfo file:

  * Add support for guessing dependencies from egg-info files (closes:
  756378)

  But this is mishandling gi.introspection dependencies. The pasaffe
  package, which compiles fine on Utopic, is now adding bogus
  dependencies to the vivid package:

  From the egg-info file:

  Requires: gi.repository.GLib
  Requires: gi.repository.GObject
  Requires: gi.repository.Gdk
  Requires: gi.repository.Gio
  Requires: gi.repository.Gtk
  Requires: gi.repository.Pango

  From the build log:

     dh_python3 -O--buildsystem=pybuild
