He wrote that on Wed, 28th of Aug 2013. That's a long time ago, and as I
couldn't wait for more, as some or my packages for OpenStack
(build-)depends on Babel 1.3.

I'm sorry that I missed it, and that I got fooled by the wrong VCS
fields in the old package. Though probably writing in this bug would
have been more efficient than writing in the topic of the IRC channel?

You want to talk about behaviors and include the -python list to add
some fun? Let's do that if you think that helps (I think it's a huge
waste of time). wRAR/Andrey's behavior is bordeline with me on IRC all
the time, and it starts to be quite annoying. I'd like this type of
harassment to to stop right away: it's not fun to read at all.

Would you care explain what is wrong there?

Yes right, because I saw that there was still some reverse dependencies
and reverted my change, then forgot to also revert the changelog. I have
filled bugs against packages that still depends on pybabel and I think
it's best to wait until they are fixed.

What do you mean there's no ${python:Recommends}?

This is a bad copy/past which should be fixed. Not a huge deal to fix
though (the bulk of the work in the other parts of the package was the
most important bit of what was urgently needed).

Let's fix the above problems, though I'd like to know what's the way to
fix the VCS. What's the new path for it?
