Any package that installs a program which embeds a Python
interpreter must declare <code class="literal">Build-Depends</code> on
<code class="literal">python<em class="replaceable"><code>X</code></em>.<em class="replaceable"><code>Y</code></em>-dev</code>, where
<em class="replaceable"><code>X</code></em>.<em class="replaceable"><code>Y</code></em> is the Python version the program
builds against. It should be the current default Python version
unless the program does not work correctly with this version.

Dependencies for programs linking against the shared Python
library will be automatically created
by <code class="filename">dpkg-shlibdeps</code>. The
<code class="filename">libpython<em class="replaceable"><code>X</code></em>.<em class="replaceable"><code>Y</code></em>.so.<em class="replaceable"><code>Z</code></em></code>
library the program is built against is provided by the
<code class="literal">python<em class="replaceable"><code>X</code></em>.<em class="replaceable"><code>Y</code></em></code> package.
