Yes, that is why I am working on it. I do have a fix ready, but I am
waiting to upload it because it fails on the Salsa piuparts test.
To be clear, Salsa is rebuilding the package, and giving this error
while testing the build. After inspecting the logs a bit longer, I
realized that what is happening is that piuparts is installing the old
version of the package while testing, and I do not know why.
Basically piuparts tries to install the binary packages one by one of
the new version, 4.4.0+dfsg-2, and it seems that during this process
apt is trying to install the old packages 4.0.0+dfsg-1. These of
course contain constraints on packages that are no longer available in
unstable and so it fails.
I thought it could be because I had not yet marked it for unstable (it
was UNRELEASED), so I ran "dch -r". This changed the error message,
but it simply fails for a different binary package now. (Bullet
instead of Python.)

If that's the case, I feel like I can just ignore this and when it's
uploaded the problem will fix itself. Does this mean that it's just a
problem with how piuparts works, or how Salsa is configured for it?
If so I will try to find how to report it.
thanks,
Steve
