Public bug reported:

Dear Ubuntu release team:

The Python EFL bindings are in a messy state.  I'm trying to clean up
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/nbs.html, and many of them
are listed there as depending on older versions of the EFL libraries.
Looking at them, I think the best fix is simply to upgrade the bindings
to versions that approximately match the libraries we have.  I think
this essentially amounts to upgrading the following packages:

  python-ecore
  python-edbus
  python-edje
  python-elementary
  python-evas

... to version 0.7.3-1 from Debian experimental and fixing any remaining
build failures (e.g. there's an extra upstream commit that's needed to
support Cython 0.14).

Unfortunately changelogs or NEWS files or whatever seem to be hard to
come by (and I don't know these packages well; I'm just trying to fix
the archive).  The total upstream diff is a subset of this, which I've
skim-read and which seems to be primarily API catch-up as you might
expect rather than any unrelated feature enhancements:

http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/changeset?new=52935%40trunk%2FBINDINGS%2Fpython&old=49577%40trunk%2FBINDINGS%2Fpython

... and the Debian changelogs seem to be typified by this:

python-ecore (0.7.3-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * Bump Standards-Version, no change required
  * Add debian/watch
  * Switch to '3.0 (quilt)' source format
  * Follow upstream change from distutils to autotools
  * Add patches/01_fix_doc_generation
    - create the missing doc/api directory to allow doc generation
  * Add python-ecore-dev and python-ecore-doc, thanks to Johannes Schauer

Honestly, my impression of the state of the EFL world in the archive is
that it would be hard for it to get much worse, but I do think that
bringing the bindings into closer sync with the underlying libraries
would be an improvement.
