The package seems to be building tests during "make all" phase even though I don't have FEATURES=test enabled. For details see my blog: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/articles/2008/06/11/please-dont-build-your-examples-by-default . It would be nice if the tests were disabled by default and only built with FEATURES=test. You can find an example patch usually suitable for upstream on the blog above. Thanks, Diego

Run + eautoreconf after touching py-compile or timestamp is changed and + maintainer-mode will run wrt #259832. 2.18.0 is going stable, so there's no need to fix other versions. only latest.
