':any' syntax in package names in jessie/sid Packages



Hello,

It seems that in jessie (and similar in sid) a number of packages [1]
started to use ':' symbol in their dependency lists as part of package
names. This is, if I'm not misreading the Debian Policy §7.1 and §5.6.1,
is not allowed.

Suggestions for issue's severity and how to proceed?


[1] mainly python-related + libidl0, > 800 binary packages in total
