Bug#861900: unblock: python-sardana/2.2.2-2

[Carlos Pascual <cpascual@cells.es>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Hello,

We would like to ask if we could get a pre-approval for unfreezing 
python-sardana.

The pyhon-sardana package depends on python-nxs, which is affected by bug 
861736 [1] and thus may drop from stretch.

python-sardana is the only rdepends of python-nxs, so we would like to 
provide a patch for it allowing to substitute the dependency on python-nxs 
by a dependency on python-h5py [2]

Would the unblock be possible?
And if so, how much time would we have to provide the new python-sardana 
patched package?

Cheers,

Carlos Pascual
