Hi, simple-scan build-depends on python-rsvg, which is long deprecated and going to be removed from the archive. It should switch to using the GObject Introspection bindings from gir1.2-rsvg-2.0. This would mean switching to GObject Introspection for other bindings as well, e.g. GLib and GTK+, so making the switch to GTK+ 3 at the same time would make a lot of sense. For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2]. Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to try to remove it this cycle. If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
