Hi,

Sorry, I've been unclear. I intended to highlight the fact that there aren't 
any problems on Unstable and Testing. The only distribution being affected by
this "bug" is Stable.

I understand, however I though it was better to speak about it here before I 
ask the release managers if they agree to drop python3-celery from the build-depends.

Cheers,
