Package: src:xcffib
Version: 0.4.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
This package build-depends on python3 dev packages even though it does not use
Python headers. This is not needed and complicates transition
trackinig for us, the python maintainers, (which is why I'm filing this as
important) [1]. As you can see, the package shows up as affected by the
transition when, in fact, it isn't.
Please see the attached patch. I have written the debian/changelog in the NMU
form, but have no immediate intent to NMU. I'm unable to test this as the
package is not currently buildable.
