It seems that the resulting binary package does not register with 
python-support and thus (I suppose) does not work properly in some 
cases.  It seemed that the package instead shipped with precompiled .pyc 
and .pyo files - which I also imagine could have an affect on e.g. i386 
machines when built on an i386 machine, but that is vague speculations.

I found out that something was broken when backporting pygtk using my 
backported pygobject failed.


I am fully aware that Debian does not support backporting, but Debian 
Policy do require package dependencies to be accurate.


Kind regards,
