Well, dcd doesn't even pick up a binary dependency on musicbrainz, so I was assuming that build-dep was completely spurious. :) > > There currently seem to not be any python bindings for -2.1, but surely we > > should just get updated bindings instead of keeping -2.0 around.

It's my opinion that libmusicbrainz-2.0 is unreleasable whether or not you do this NMU, because it's an obsolete version of the lib that should be removed. So I would definitely recommend that you focus on making python bindings available for -2.1, rather than spending time NMUing -2.0.
