The manual says that ${python:Depends} should be used in packages
control files, but dh_gencontrol complains,

    dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package foopkg: unknown substitution variable ${python:Depends}

and the string «Depends» only occurs inside documentation files.

Source: dh-virtualenv
Architecture: source
Version: 1.3.1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Debian Python Team <team+python@tracker.debian.org>
Changed-By: Nico Della Torre <nicoz91@ubuntu.com>
Closes: 845712 856144 984767 1150720 1150721 1150722 1150894 1150896
Changes:
 dh-virtualenv (1.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Accept options passed by dh as -O--name=value: the lookup included
     the value, so --python and other options with a value given to dh
     were dropped and --builtin-venv failed with a TypeError.
     Closes: #984767, #845712
   * doc/dh_virtualenv.1.rst: update the quick guide for maintainers
     (debhelper-compat 13, Python 3, no ${python:Depends}).
     Closes: #856144
   * Drop the lintian override for the pre-native changelog versions, no
     longer needed now that the previous entry is native.
   * Use python3 for --builtin-venv when --python is not given, instead
     of failing with a TypeError. Closes: #1150721
   * Replace the build path in all bin/activate* scripts instead of
     matching the VIRTUAL_ENV assignments: recent venv and virtualenv
     indent them, so bin/activate kept the build directory, and the csh
     and fish patterns also overwrote VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT.
     Closes: #1150720
   * Buildsystem: replace the build path in all the scripts in bin/, not
     only in the shebangs, so the activate scripts and the console scripts
     that pip writes with a /bin/sh exec line for long build paths point
     to the installed virtualenv. Closes: #1150722
   * Drop the .env autoenv development script: it is a third-party copy
     with no licence notice, wrongly covered by the Spotify AB stanza in
     debian/copyright, and is not shipped in the binary packages. Document
     building the documentation with Sphinx in README.md instead.
   * Drop the Travis, tox and invoke development files, which target
     Python 2.7-3.8 with nose. README.md: run the tests with pytest and
     describe the current release steps.
   * Dockerfile: install the build dependencies with apt-get build-dep
     instead of an outdated hardcoded list that no longer installed.
   * Stop removing dh_python2, dh_pycentral and dh_pysupport from the
     sequence: no supported release has them. Fix the list of replaced
     commands and the position of dh_virtualenv in the documentation.
   * doc: drop the Python 2 era instructions and --no-site-packages from
     the Python 3 recipe.
   * Pass --setuptools=bundle to virtualenv for --setuptools: since
     virtualenv 20 the option takes a version, so the build failed with
     "the following arguments are required: dest". Closes: #1150894
   * prerm: remove every __pycache__ directory of the virtualenv, not only
     the top-level one, so the bytecode Python writes at runtime does not
     stay behind after removal and purge. Closes: #1150896
   * Publish the documentation on Salsa Pages with a pages job in
     debian/salsa-ci.yml, and link it from README.md and the man page
     instead of the Read the Docs project, still stuck at 1.2.2.
   * doc/changes.rst: add the Debian releases from debian/changelog, with
     their distribution (unstable or UNRELEASED) and date, and point to
     the history on Salsa.
   * doc: credit the Debian Python Team as maintainer and follow the
     Debian Code of Conduct.
   * Buildsystem: report projects with only a pyproject.toml as buildable
     too (they were already installed with pip). doc: the project needs a
     pyproject.toml or a setup.py, and is installed with "pip install .".
   * d/control: Build-Depend on python3-hatchling (>= 1.26), needed for the
     PEP 639 license fields in pyproject.toml (bookworm-backports has it).
   * test: expect the DeprecationWarning of --pypi-url, --no-test and
     --setuptools-test in the tests that use them.
