Subject: dia: FTBFS: Can't find python >= 1.5.2

Package: dia
Version: 0.94.0-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

The package is failing to build since it can't seem to be finding
python >= 1.5.2. You're build depending on python2.3-dev.

checking for python... no
checking for python2.1... no
checking for python2.0... no
checking for python1.6... no
checking for python1.5... no
checking if Python version >= 1.5.2... configure: error: too old

Adding an extra build dependency on python gives this instead:
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking if Python version >= 1.5.2... okay

python is now a symlink to python2.3.
