pychecker (0.8.19-14) unstable; urgency=medium

  Please consider moving away from Pychecker in favor of an alternative like
  Pylint [1].  Pychecker is basically unmaintained upstream.  Also, it is only
  supported for Python 2, so it will reach its end of life along with Python 2
  sometime in 2020.  

  Sandro and I will continue to maintain the Pychecker packages in Debian as
  long as we can, acting as de facto upstream.  However, once Python 2 is
  unsupported in Debian, we will remove the packages from the archive.
  
  Now is the time to convert.  Pylint does everything that Pychecker used to
  do.  The main effort required is to create your new configuration file and
  weed out warnings that you want to ignore.
