-Note: This program is deprecated. You should use dh_pysupport or
-dh_pycentral instead. This program will do nothing if debian/pycompat

-dh_python is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the
-${python:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files. It
-will also add a postinst and a prerm script if required.

-The program will look at python scripts and modules in your package, and
-will use this information to generate a dependency on python, with the
-current major version, or on pythonX.Y if your scripts or modules need a
-specific python version. The dependency will be substituted into your
-package's control file wherever you place the token "${python:Depends}".

If some modules need to be byte-compiled at install time, appropriate
-postinst and prerm scripts will be generated. If already byte-compiled
