Package: lintian
Version: 2.65.0
Severity: normal

The package python-pip-whl is a special case of a Python package built
to work with either python or python3.  Currently python3-vertualenv
gets the following lintian warning:

W: python3-virtualenv: python-package-depends-on-package-from-other-python-variant Depends: python-pip-whl

While this is a great warning in general, in this case it's wrong.
Would it be OK to special case python-pip-whl and have it not trigger
this check?
