First, thanks for reporting this. But I cannot reproduce this on unstable (in a clean pbuilder chroot), since the python-setuptools is new enough (for sid). While the behaviour of stable builds is not good (and the versioned dependency is incorrect), I don't think it warrants an RC status for this bug, as it doesn't affect sid/testing. A stable backport should indeed have better dependencies declared, but I'm not sure why you expect that the unstable version should be buildable in a stable environment *by default*. Please explain why you think this is RC… My proposal would be degrade to important, while I try to convince setuptools to do the right thing. regards, iustin
