Bug#885178: closed by Georges Khaznadar <georges.khaznadar at free.fr> (this bug is closed in revision 1.3-1)

[Jonas Smedegaard]

control: reopen -1

python-sympy 1.3-1 still depend on ipython, where this bugreport states 
that it should instead declare that it enhances ipython.

Below bug-closure claims to contain an explanation, but I fail to locate 
any.

Please either change the package relation, or provide a reason not to do 
so.
