Dear Maintainer,

desktopnova recently starting failing to build from source in Ubuntu
because it was pulling in python-minimal via a transitive dependency
that no longer existed.

Please build-depend on python-minimal so that the package builds
regardless of what its dependencies transitively depend on. It requires
the python command during the build process.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Build-depend on python-minimal to fix FTBFS.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
