I tried cross building tevent and its Build-Depends turn out to be
"difficult" to satisfy. So I looked why they exist and was very
confused.
When building tevent with --disable-python and then comparing the
resulting packages using diffoscope, one can see that indeed there is a
difference. Surprisingly, that difference is limited to the static
libtevent.a. The shared library lacks Python support.
Given that you cannot load a static library into a Python interpreter
and that static linking is discouraged in Debian, it would seem that the
use of Python support in a static library is quite limited. How about
removing it by passing --disable-python?
The resulting simplification of Build-Depends should bring us closer to
cross building tevent.
