Bug#947249: libpeas: Please build-depend on python-gi in addition to python-gi-dev

[Simon McVittie]

Source: libpeas
Version: 1.22.0-4
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: python-gi-dev-945022
Control: block 945022 by -1

Please see https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/pygobject/merge_requests/2
for the latest information on this transition.

python-gi-dev contains development files (pkg-config metadata and header
file) corresponding to both python-gi and python3-gi.

At the moment, python-gi-dev Depends on both python-gi and python3-gi.
The GNOME team would like to drop the python-gi dependency, to make the
status of Python 2 removal easier to track. A version with this change
might become available in experimental soon.

The package receiving this bug is one of a few packages that build-depend
on python-gi-dev and appear to build Python 2 bindings. In my local
testing against the wip/945022 branch of pygobject, it fails to build
from source after the python-gi dependency is removed.

I'll prepare a patch when I get a bug number back.

Thanks,
