 Uh, my mistake. I have checked it, but somehow could not recognise that
it has an sqlite3 dependency. :-(

 It was not a problem, but I did overlook the python-pysqlite2
dependency line, my mistake.

 Still, this dependency is solved from python-pysqlite2, but yes, not
yet from python-sqlite. As the former in testing (and never been part of
any stable release), I think it is solved. On the other hand,
python-sqlite does not.
I Cc this mail to Joel, as python-sqlite does *not* depend on any sqlite
package (maybe here is my overlook with python-pysqlite2 ?). So I think
the best would be a rebuild of python-sqlite with the current
libsqlite3-dev package. No upload is necessary, as Debian supports
package rebuilding when the underlying libs change; like in this case.
