This also affects convoy in the rebuild test: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/150553029/buildlog_ubuntu-saucy-i386.convoy_0.2.1%2Bbzr20-0ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

paste (1.7.5.1-6ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - debian/control: Demote libjs-mochikit back to suggests because dh_python2
      doesn't have the same symlink problem as python-support.

paste (1.7.5.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Team upload.
  * Fix one more python2/3 incompatibility in the lint.py.
