Problem is the arch-all to arch-any relationship, that's why the package
uses which doesn't allow a strict depencency.

It currently uses:

Package: python-gtk2-dev
Architecture: all
Depends: python-gtk2 (>= ${source:Version}),

Aside from making python-gtk2-dev arch-any, we could use something like
Depends: python-gtk2 (>= ${source:Version}), python-gtk2 (<<
${source:Version}.1~)
