I actually can not install valac to my unstable system after updating my
system to unstable recently with GNOME 3.12 packages.  The upgrade was
not smooth but that is unstable when these large group of packages are
making large scale changes. I can not even run clean target as a result.

All the failures seem to be
 dh_install: usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/IBus.pyc exists
 in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
This is because of debian/rules  having:
       dh_install --fail-missing -X.la
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maybe dh-python changed behavior to generate these files in debian/tmp

Maybe I should test this build in testing chroot.

Let's wait a bit until it settles down. Give me simetime.
