Well, the control file is "broken" in the sense that it has the python
dependencies added manually, not via ${python:Depends}.

IMHO, the python dependencies should be replaced with the
${python:Depends}, and furthermore the Build-Depends for the python
libraries should be replaced with Build-Depends-Indep.

However, I cannot get the package to build on my computer - I try
"svn-buildpackage" but it gives me errors.

Anyone care to share what's the usual procedure?
