Package: graphviz
Version: 2.8-1
Followup-For: Bug #360974

I wanted to report this bug, too. Here is some information I could find out
about the bug:

currently the package installes a broken symlink in
/usr/lib/graphviz/python/_gv.so

apparently the problem is that upstream's configure checks for python2.4,
but the default version of python is 2.3, even in unstable, so configure
won't find the python headers, even if the necessary python2.4-dev, etc.
packages are installed. Doing 
$ export PYTHON=python2.4
before running configure fixes this.

(but the installed python module is not 2.4 specific, that is, it can be
imported from python2.3, which I guess is a bug in itself.)
