Bug#855243: lintian: Packages python-foo-doc are documentation, not Python 2
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.51
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Tag new-package-should-not-package-python2-module is intended to discourage
packaging of new modules for Python 2. It currently does this by looking for
packages beginning python- with 1 changelog entry.
However documentation packages for any version of Python have names of the form
python-foo-doc[0] and are erroneously tagged.
The attached patch does not apply this tag to packages beginning python and
ending -doc.

Thanks.
