Weird. That Debian libieee1284* package maintainer(s) seem to manage fine without a Python (run-time) dependency. Looking closer[1], the Python build-time dependency is only needed if you insist on building the Python bindings for the library. You could have just dropped those and still provide the C library ... # Just a thought.
