Dear Maintainer,
gnome-pkg-tools 0.19.5 (previewed in Ubuntu's 0.19.4ubuntu1)
introduces a build dependency loop with pygobject, preventing them
from being rebuilt together. This will be a problem during any Python
3 transition. I noticed this during my recent Python 3.5 archive test
rebuild for Ubuntu.
The crappy solution I used to break the loop was to just remove the
python3 and python3-gi Depends from gnome-pkg-tools' control.in file.
Then I uploaded this and rebuilt pygobject. After pygobject rebuilt
successfully, I re-enabled the g-p-t Depends and closed the loop.
A better solution would probably be to split gnome-pkg-tools into
separate binary packages. Python 3 is only needed for the
pkg-gnome-compat-desktop-file file, which AFAICT, isn't required to
build pygobject. Splitting the binary package would allow pygobject
to depend on the dh bits it needs without introducing the circular
dependency.

I talked to Iain and we agreed to drop the script along with the dependencies,
as the script is not used in Debian. So these problems should be no more.
Cheers,
