Package: python-newt
Version: 0.52.14-5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5

In a minimal chroot, importing the module fails:
| $ python -c 'import snack'
| Traceback (most recent call last):
|   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
|   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/snack.py", line 42, in <module>
|     import _snack
| ImportError: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory

Python extensions modules should not be linked to libpython (as per Python Policy ยง2.1). But if you do link to the library, you must of course depend on it.
