Bug#698042: python-visual: needs rebuild because of python-numpy ABI change and must add corresponding versioned dependency

[Sébastien Villemot]

Package: python-visual
Version: 1:5.12-1.4
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Control: block 685812 by -1

Dear Maintainer,

python-visual uses the NPY_CHAR and PyArray_CHAR enums which are affected by an
ABI breakage in python-numpy (see #685812). It must therefore be rebuilt.

Unfortunately a binNMU is not enough because this wouldn't produce the right
versioned dependency on python-numpy (and we want to support partial upgrades).
I am therefore attaching a patch for a sourceful upload.

For Jessie you might want to automatically generate the right versioned
dependencies on python-numpy, as explained in
/usr/share/doc/python-numpy/README.DebianMaints. This would avoid the need for
sourceful uploads in such situations.

Cheers,
