Package: python3.1-dev
Version: 3.1.1-3
Severity: normal

I use the following code to find out how to link against libpython:

python -c "import distutils.sysconfig,string; print(' 
'.join(filter(None,distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars('LIBS','LIBC','LIBM','LOCALMODLIBS','BASEMODLIBS'))))"

python2.5 produces:
-lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm

python2.6 produces:
-lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm -lssl -lcrypto  -lssl -lcrypto      -L/usr/lib -lz

python3.1 produces:
-lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm -lssl -lcrypto  -lssl -lcrypto    -lffi  -L/usr/lib 
-lz

But none of these additional libraries are mentioned in package dependencies.  
Especially libffi-dev is fairly obscure and unlikely to be installed.

If this list of libraries is actually correct, then some dependencies should
be added.  Otherwise, perhaps /usr/lib/python3.1/config/Makefile and/or the
distutils module should be adjusted.

Or maybe this is the wrong method, but it has basically worked like that for 
many years.
