Bug Description

The debian/control file adds a dependency on python-gnome2-dev (Depends: ... python-gnome2-dev).

I couldn't find out why this is needed. But I never saw a package with depends on a devel package, perhaps a build dependency.

I've checked the relevant file, and that package is definitely listed as a dependency. Is this needed? The old "debian-packaging" branch didn't have that dependency, but then again, a lot has changed since then...

If anyone knows for sure if this is needed or not, please leave a note.
