We can sync this for fix the FTBFS.

silo-llnl (4.8-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add dependency on python-all-dev for extensions. Closes: #628820.
   * Check for errors in debian/rules with 'set -e'. Closes: #628818.
   * Disable python-write test that fails on python2.7. forwrd upstream.
     (note: it appears the code didn't work as planned on 2.6;
     hence allow as exists rather than disable python2.7).
   * Python2.7 enables HDF5 tests: disable SZIP test,
      as Debian does not have SZIP for licensing reasons.
   * Disable HDF5 largefile test (test fails on rounding error using floats)
