The package has a Build-Depends-Indep and a Depends on python-epydoc, but there is no reference to epydoc anywhere in the source code or in the debian package structure.
It's not clear why these dependencies were added in 0.8.0~dev650-1 back in 2014. However, the package builds successfully without python-epydoc installed in my unstable chroot. The INSTALL file with the source package says that everything should be ok as long as the module imports cleanly. I also tested this in my unstable chroot. Since it doesn't seem to be needed, I am going to NMU a new package removing these dependencies. That will resolve this bug. KEN -- Kenneth J.
