python-rdflib is architecture-dependent as it contains a native SPARQL
parser library (SPARQLParserc.so). Back in 2010, this library caused a
gcc bug on a specific architecture to occur, such that enigmail would no
longer build on that architecture (back at that time, mozilla-devscripts
used python-rdflib, not python-librdf). Having a -dbg package at that
time would have saved me the time of recompiling the library - on qemu.
Since enigmail is no longer concerned by this problem, I can no longer
advocate for "fixing" this wishlist bug.
