Bug#747928: libglib2.0-dev: fails to configure - unmet "python:any" dependency

[Lionel Elie Mamane]

Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.40.0-3
Severity: serious

libglib2.0-dev fails to configure:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libglib2.0-dev:
 libglib2.0-dev depends on python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~).

Well, the package name is "python", not "python:any". I thought it
might be related to multiarch and maybe a newer dpkg would parse the
"python:any", but nope, even with dpkg from unstable, still same error
message.
