Helo David, I just tried to build this package with pbuilder and
there was no problem. So maybe it was a python issue which was fixed in
the meantime.

So I have a suggestion if it makes sense: when you do an archive rebuild, check
whether previously failing packages now build, and whether the corresponding
bug was closed.

Cheers,
