I am generating deb's and already receive one warning that deb's do not 
support BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS. Would that work?

In the deb control file we have:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27), python3-core
Recommends: libgpiod-python, libgpiod-tools
Provides: libgpiod

I believe the depends is wrong as it is libgpiod-python that depends on 
python3-core.

But libgpiod-python control file has only:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27), libgpiod2 (>= 1.1.1), libpython3.5m1.0 (>= 3.5.5)
