Actually, partly my mistake. This is a different bug. I hadn't noticed,
but this bug is specific for the Python2 package on Jessie. Where as the
bug I reported was specific to the Python3 package.

The problem being that the symlinks refer to the "pyshared" directory,
which was removed IIRC after wheezy. It was intended to share files
between Python 2.6 and Python 2.7.

These symlink were removed in version 3.0.5-0.2.

+  * Fix broken links to media files. Remove debian/*.links, these symlinks are
+    no longer relevant.

I will fix that. However note that "notfound" is the opposite of
"found", it will remove the "found" version. What you were looking for
was the "fixed" instruction.

Don't be sorry - it affected the same file, but was a different bug, in
a different package.

Question: Does this deserve an update in the next Debian Jessie point
release? There was a point release just recently, so might be several
months until the next one.
