Bug#819166: RFS: libsass-python/0.11.0-1 (new upstream release ; *urgent* : fix for FTBFS)

[Frederic Bonnard <frediz@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors, Gianfranco,

I am looking for a sponsor for an upgrade of the package "libsass-python".
This an upgrade of the previous version 0.9.3-1 which is marked for autoremoval
on 29 March because of FTBFS on some platforms. I worked with upstream to
provide a patch to libsass (which libsass-python depends on) and it has been
propagated in the lastest libsass 3.3.4-1 that got released in sid 2days ago.
Here is libsass-python/0.11.0-1 changelog :

libsass-python (0.11.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules : taking default python version into account in shebang and
    adapting upstream check of libsass version.
  * debian/control : updated python3-libsass dependency. Closes: #811406
  * Renaming sassc to pysassc while waiting for upstream. Closes: #817139
  * Updating to new release. Closes: #814428
