I could reschedule it to a shorter time, but sure, it's always better
if maintainers ack the change themselves, so please go ahead :)

Thanks and cheers.

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for the patch.
I'm fine with the NMU, just tell me if you prefer me to upload it
directly (so we do not wait the 15 days).

Bug#840848: libcap-ng FTCBFS: wrong python dependencies

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libcap-ng
Version: 0.7.7-3
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

libcap-ng fails to cross build from source, because its dependencies
require installing a host architecture python, whose postinst fails.
Indeed, libcap-ng should not request a host architecture python but only
request a host architecture python-dev. The attached patch fixes those
dependencies and makes libcap-ng cross build including the python
extensions.

This patch conflicts with my patch in #831362, but the conflict is
pretty simple to resolve. The patches fix orthogonal issues:
 * This one allows cross building full libcap-ng.
 * #831362 allows building libcap-ng without python (cross or native).
