In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

   - debian/control: Don't hardcode python dependencies.

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.

I dare to inflate severity of this bug, because after a simple no-change rebuild, mypaint ends up with "#!/usr/bin/env python2.6" shebang and no dependency on python2.6:

$ lintian mypaint_0.8.2-1_i386.deb E: mypaint: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/mypaint
