Source: harfbuzz
Severity: important
Control: block 939500 by -1

Dear Maintainer,

The harfbuzz package fails to build from source when built using gtk-doc-tools 
1.32 (currently available in experimental).
The problem seems to be that harfbuzz uses python(2) during build, but relies 
on gtk-doc-tools to pull in python.
(The newer gtk-doc-tools version in experimental has been fully ported to 
python3 and no longer pulls in python(2).)

The simplest solution might be to just add python (or python:any) to 
build-dependencies, but please also note that
python2 will be removed during bullseye so solving this issue by porting to 
python3 would be preferable.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
