Severity: important

In a minimal Ubuntu 18.04 Alpha chroot, mail-notification fails to
build with this error:


dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig
dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig: Compatibility levels before 9 are
deprecated (level 7 in use)
dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig: dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig is
deprecated; please see dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig(1) for a
replacement
dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig: This feature will be removed in compat 12.
gtk-builder-convert ui/mailbox-properties-dialog.glade
ui/mailbox-properties-dialog.ui
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory


gtk-builder-convert is shipped by libgtk2.0-dev (it was dropped
upstream before gtk3 was released). It intentionally only Recommends
instead of Depends on python. See
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk2/commit/32466e0f

Therefore, you need to Build-Depend on python if you are using
gtk-builder-convert.

I was unable to reproduce this bug with Debian unstable (something
pulls in python already).

Thanks,
