Comment 4 for bug 1286073

(a) ipython: required for the corresponding "interactive python shell" gourmet plugin (which is part of the upstream code and can be activated through the Plugins menu item). As comparable requirements (like python-gtkspell for the spell check plugin, or python-beautifulsoup for the web page import plugin) have so far been part of Recommends, too, I added ipython to that section instead of using Suggests.
(b) I emailed a modified version of gourmet.diff -- with only the changes to Debian's 0.16.1-1 -- to the maintainer of the Debian package right after filing this bug report, but I felt I shouldn't wait for him to react in order not to waste too much time after trusty's FF.

So I'm obviously okay with moving ipython to Suggests, and I'm all for keeping this synced with Debian, but as I can't predict how long it's going to take them to update, I'd rather make sure 0.17.0 is in trusty anyway.
