Dear Maintainer,

python-pyocr fails to build from source in unstable/amd64:

  […]

Patch is simple:

358     try:
359         els = ver_string.split(" ")[1].split(".")
360         els = [int(x.replace('alpha', '')) for x in els]
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
361         major = els[0]
362         minor = els[1]


Best wishes.
