that dependency is implied by the python-support dependency, so it's
ugly, but exists, hence the important severity, not the serious one.
By my understanding, this is not correct, as the dependency on Python
must be direct. Please see this thread:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2006/08/msg00100.html
Especially where it says:
python-support is a package that, at least according to its long
description, says that it provides a script that byte-compiles Python
modules. Nothing in the description of the package says that it provides
a Python interpreter.

I'll try to bug joss again so that he does not forget that bug again,
but no there is nothing broken, only an annoyance. lintian is not the
Truth, it's a helper to be near it. What you look at is not even an
Error but a Warning.
It sure looks like errors to me:
