tag 549015 +patch thanks libvte-dev still depends on a huge amount of python packages via the hardcoded dependency on python-vte. This is especially annoying with autobuilders (or puilder) which have to fetch a lot of useless packages.
The attached patch adds a new python-vte-dev virtual package and removes the python dependencies from libvte-dev. Best, Teemu
