[Build-common-hackers] Bug#424898: cdbs: don't create debian/pycompat, don't run dh_python

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.48
Severity: important

Heya,

to cite http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy

Another note: if there is a debian/pycompat file, you must launch
dh_python after dh_pysupport, but the recommended way is to remove that
file.


cdbs creates debian/pycompat which forces to run dh_python, which is
deprecated. If pysupport or -central is used, there's neither a need for
 a pycompat file nor for running the deprecated dh_pycompat.

Not to forget that the clean target should remove all created files, but
cdbs fails to do so for it's created debian/pycompat file.


Please fix,


Bernd
