Control: reassign -1 libquickfix-python10
Control: retitle -1 duplicates python code instead of adding symlinks
Control: severity -1 normal

It isn't relevant.

This is a bug in the package, it duplicates all the python code
instead of shipping symlinks in the appropriate directories as normal
python packages do. Unpack the deb and you will see that this is true.
It is also named incorrectly (python-quickfix would be better).
