I think the -dev package of libffi is needed. On my box pkg-config fails
with the following message
pkg-config --cflags-only-I pygtk-2.0
Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libffi.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libffi', required by 'PyGObject', not found
This makes it e.g. impossible to build matplotlib.
