[Bug 1098317] [NEW] multi-arched python makes large number of python packages FTBFS

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

A rather large number of Python packages are no longer building
successfully in raring but they built fine before multiarch.

The error logs will have a message similar to:

/usr/include/python2.7/Python.h:8:22: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

This was discussed in a thread at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives
/ubuntu-devel/2013-January/036291.html where some sort of compatibility
header was proposed.

Personally, I think it would be an extraordinary effort to individually
patch all of the affected packages and I'm not sure whether these
patches would be accepted into upstreams.
