Package: gns3
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

gns3 hard-codes a dependency on Python 2.6, rather than building with
the build-time default Python version. pyversions should state the
python versions supported by the codebase (in this case 2.5-, according
to README).

I assume this is a result of http://bugs.debian.org/573583, but it seems
like an over-the-top response.

In Ubuntu, we've re-hard-coded gns3 to support 2.7 only, but I recommend
the following patch:
