shiboken pkg-config file contains bad formatted data

$ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/shiboken.pc

Name: shiboken
Description: Support library for Python bindings created with Shiboken generator.
Version: 1.1.2
Libs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so -L${libdir} -lshiboken-python2.7
Cflags: -I/usr/include/python2.7;/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7 -I${includedir}/

Many things in this file are wrong.
1. defining in Cflags: tag a -I flag with two directories separated with a semicolon, should be two -I options
2. Including in the Libs: the full python library path with no option, it should have -lpython2.7 instead

Maybe a Depends: clause on python-2.7, which provides also a pc file, would solve the problem better.

This bugs affects 'raring'. Until 'quantal' worked well.

This bug was fixed in the package shiboken - 1.2.1-2

---------------
shiboken (1.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rewrite debian/copyright with CF-1.0 (Closes: #722504)
  * Correct the default python suffix for python3, make sure cmake's
    default is python2's

This error is still persitent in 1.1.2-4

Cflags is still defined as:

      Cflags: -I/usr/include/python2.7;/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7 -I${includedir}/

Which causes problems with the semicolon in any command you use pkg-config.
Seems to be autogenerated.

Instead hardcoding the paths, a line like:
      Depends: python2.7
would do the job and ease maintenance.

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=/usr/include/shiboken

Sorry, its 'Requires', not 'Depends', and python-2.7 not python2.7, so i meant:

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=/usr/include/shiboken
generator_location=/usr/bin/shiboken
python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python2.7

oops, ok i understood that the fixed version was not 1.2.1-2 but 1.1.2-2 and i was surprised that still persistent 1.1.2-4. Nevermind, ignore my previous comments. I will test it when I'll jump to Trusty.
