this is apparently because it hardcodes versions up to python 3.2 in its
CMake files.

a simple fix is to just add 3.3 to the list, but a better fix would be
to remove this check completely.

Also it does not deal with multiarch python include directories as
present in experimental and the unicode suffix is gone in py3.3.
Attached a patch which fixes these issues.

The abi suffixes in python3 do not have "u" anymore so
debian/shiboken-dbg.install and the makeshlibs override in debian/rules
need updating for this when python3.3 goes into unstable in future.


Also please note that the sample_modelview test crashes with all python
versions in ubuntu.

also these tests fail with python3.3:
sample_static_nonstatic_methods
sample_duck_punching
