No idea why. Looks like we need to have python3-zeitgeist removed eventually.

However before that, I'm going for a workaround: Upload an experimental
version with higher version string, e.g., 1.0.2+py3-0. After that, upload
1.0.2-3 onto Sid with python3-zeitgeist removed. This would keep binary
package python3-zeitgeist in development repositories so that we do not need
to go through NEW queue for another time if we really need that in the future.
