Bug#1015006: gir1.2-notify-0.7: Upgrade to version 0.8.0-1 breaks at least two packages that use Python

[Ernesto Domato]

Package: gir1.2-notify-0.7
Version: 0.8.0-1
Severity: important

Hi, I have two packages (guake and mate-tweak) which uses Python and after
upgrading gir1.2-notify-0.7 from version 0.7.12-1 to 0.8.0-1 breaks those
packages. Downgrading gir1.2-notife-0.7 and libnotify4 to the previous version
solves the problem.

Both application fails with the Python error message:

guake:

  File "/usr/bin/guake", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('guake==3.9.0', 'console_scripts', 'guake')())

mate-tweak:
