Ok, this may take a while to get sorted out. Let's just remove
python-librabbitmq from kombu in svn trunk and move on with the python3
package.

Once python-librabbitmq is useable again, we can take the approach of
adding it to Recommends.

Yes, sounds good to me.

Upstream responded to my ticket:

"Right, but we don't really have any alternative other than copying the code. The latest version is also blocking when a heartbeat is enabled for some reason, which breaks everything for us, so we have to maintain a fork anyway."

In other words, they want you to link (static link I assume) to their version of librabbitmq-c instead of linking with the system library.
