The problem is that the source is really arch:all (python scripts), and
I do not see the point in overloading the build daemons just for one
dependency (recommends in that particular case).
After testing, leaving python-psyco in Recommends: does not cause any
issue for architectures where it is not available (tested on amd64),
whereas it is well installed on i386 (with aptitude --with-recommends)
