This is somewhat a confusing report. python-django-voting in unstable
must be compatible with the python-django in unstable or it will not be
installable. Changing the depends to disallow it being installed with
Django 1.9 is not going to magically mean that the package is not
broken.

There is already a serious bug report against python-django-voting, for
Django 1.7 compatability. See #755632

Unfortunately it seems nobody in the python-modules-team is currently
interested in fixing it. I also note that upstream hasn't had a release
since 2012 either. So maybe the package should get dropped from
unstable?

As there is already a bug report that covers the issues on this package,
I will close #807101.
