Yes, I already did that (Conflicts: python-apt (< 0.7.94~)).  The point
is until the new python-apt is built everywhere, installing the new
version of python-debian will remove python-apt on all architectures but
amd64.  I'd rather wait and avoid that transition issue.  I've also got
one more patch I'm waiting for team review on, which would close #573009
and #562257.  I still expect to upload this weekend.
