If jackd2 isn't fixed for a while, we'll have to choose one of these:
- get jackd2 removed from testing
- revert the removal of python-dbus, but drop the python-gi B-D
and the python-gi dependency of the python2 autopkgtest
(test coverage will be reduced, and python-dbus will be of
limited practical use)
What exactly do you mean by "limited practical use", what are the
consequences of running jackd2 with python-dbus installed but
python-gi not installed (I notice that python-dbus recommends
python-gi)
- revert the removal of python-gi (revert pygobject 3.36.0-4)
I went with this approach in raspbian, it turned out not to be as simple
as a revert though. A debdiff is at
http://debdiffs.raspbian.org/main/p/pygobject/pygobject_3.36.0-4%2Brpi1.debdiff
if people want to go down this road.
