Bug#659068: Allows installing non-matching python-gtk2 and python-gtk2-dev

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: python-gtk2-dev
Version: 2.17.0-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5


I was trying to compile python-gnome2 and figured it does not build
because python-gtk2 and pythong-gkt2-dev are different version, even
built for different python.

According to debian policy 3.5 packages should depend on the required
shared libraries which in this case does not happen.
