Lintian tag: package-contains-python-header-in-incorrect-directory

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package ships a header file such as /usr/include/python3.7/foo/bar.h.
However, /usr/include/python3.7 is a symlink to python3.7m in
libpython3.7-dev.

This may result in silent file overwrites or, depending on the unpacking
order (if /usr/include/python3.7 is a directory), separating the headers
into two independent trees.

These header files should be shipped in /usr/include/python3.7m instead.
