The main goal of this PR was to get our required Python version (currently 3.9) into the Debian package's "Depends" field (currently, we just specified "any" version)
The tool we were using to generate the file,
stdeb, mentions this option in their documentation (here), although it doesn't seem functional to me. Sincestdebseemed otherwise abandoned and relies on functionality that will soon be removed from Python (thedistutilsmodule), it seemed sensible to also find a new tool for the job.After some searching, I've found
fpmand ported our action to using it instead. This currently requires a few manual inputs (maintainers, required python version), but should in the future be able to be fetched from apyproject.tomlfile (which is relatively easy to create). A PR for that feature is currently in the works (here)In the process of that, I've also updated some other action versions to get that Warning count at least a little lower
