Bug#707338: please support python3 (and python3.3-uno)

[Jan Beyer]

Upstream is aware of the problem and seems to be working on a solution,
see a bit down in the following thread:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bibus-biblio/forums/forum/380178/topic/7974009
Let's hope for the best.

Best regards,
Jan
