Bug#546719: freecad needs pivy which is not available

[David Goodenough]

Subject: freecad needs pivy which is not available
Package: freecad
Version: 0.8.2237-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When I try to go into the 2D Draw workbench, freecad tries to load pivy and it
can not find it.  It is not a dependency, and as far as I can tell is not 
available as a Debian package.  Freecad seems to recommend python-pivy, but
this does not exist, and as the 2D Draw workbench is somewhat fundamental to
using freecad it would seem that it should be a dependency not a 
recommendation.
