[Python-modules-team] Bug#861175: cairocffi: Please drop Build-Depends and Recommends on xcffib

[Niels Thykier]

Source: cairocffi
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: stretch-is-blocker / Depends on Source that FTBFS

Hi,

We have unfortunately learned that we cannot compile xcffib (neither
in unstable nor in stretch).  Fixing it requires changes to more than
one package and none of these changes are trivial.

The easiest solution for stretch appears to be to have cairocffi drop
its Build-Depends and Recommends on binaries built from xcffib and
lose the optional features provided by that.

Thanks,
~Niels
