gbp buildpackage issue when building glance with async patch:
dpkg-source: info: applying fix-py37-compatibility-async-keyword.patch
patching file glance/_async/__init__.py (renamed from glance/async/__init__.py)
patching file glance/_async/flows/__init__.py (renamed from glance/async/flows/__init__.py)
patch: **** Can't get file attributes of file glance/_async/flows/__init__.py : No such file or directory

Investigation: dpkg-source doesn't let you create empty files with patches, you need to find another way.

To be done for Debian:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/python3.7-only.html

Last resort:
- prevent pycompile errors by blacklisting some files

Policy v 3.9.7
§12.3
   recommend to ship additional documentation for package "pkg" in a
   separate package "pkg-doc" and install it into
   "/usr/share/doc/pkg".

Because of this: debhelper compat 11 puts doc in a directory named after the "main" package, detected as the first one, by default. Can be overridden with the --doc-main-package= option to dh_installdocs.

Actions:
========
- talk to debhelper people about doc locations [stuart]
- py3.7 as default call to be made end of Oct? [doko]
- talk to RT about transition plan [doko]
- people to cattle-prod upstreams into 3.7 support [all]
- do the dpm to pq conversion (finally!) [onovy]
- check policy to make sure it says pq not dpm [p1otr]
- publish policy from salsa [p1otr]
- everyone: drink coffee [yay]
