Dear Maintainer,

The libvirt-sandbox package seems to require python(2) during build, but relies on gtk-doc-tools to pull in python.
The new gtk-doc-tools (currently in experimental) has been ported to python3 and no longer pulls in python2.
This makes libvirt-sandbox fail to build from source.

The simplest solution might be to just add python (or python:any) to build-dependencies, but please also note
that python2 is set to be removed from bullseye so porting to python3 is the preferred solution.
(See #936935 for detailed info on python2 removal.)

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
