Package: isympy
Version: 0.7.6.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I think binary isympy lacks a dependency on python-sympy | python3-sympy. Without this dependency, installing it leaves the package in an unusable state:

[snip]

Hence, isympy should depend on python-sympy | python3-sympy. Please add this dependency.

Actually, isympy must depend only on python-sympy. If python3-sympy is installed and python-sympy is not, then isympy fails, because of this:

  $ head -n 1 /usr/bin/isympy
  #!/usr/bin/python

Is there anyone taking care of the sympy pacakge for taking care of this RC bug soon? Several packages with transitive reverse depends will be removed from testing if this bug is not fixed (brian, cain, ffc, fiat, geophar, nipy, octave-symbolic, and sfepy).

The fix is ridiculously simple to do. If ou wish, I can prepare the change in Git.
