That's not the case for all the other rdeps:

emilio@tatooine:~$ grep-dctrl -s Source:Package -n -F Depends "python-cffi (<<"
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages
| sort -u
snimpy

emilio@tatooine:~$ grep-dctrl -s Source:Package -n -F Depends "python-cffi,"
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages
| sort -u
cairocffi
gphoto2-cffi
python-cryptography
python-librtmp
python-nacl
python-ssdeep
tahoe-lafs

Why does snimpy have to depend on the exact version while the others don't?

Cheers,
Emilio
