[Bug 1720525] [NEW] Sync python-evdev 0.7.0+dfsg-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd):

Please sync python-evdev 0.7.0+dfsg-2 (universe) from Debian unstable
(main)

This sync request is (obviously) targeted for BB once the development
archive opens.

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
So far the package has been packaged in Ubuntu only¸ but it is now available in Debian as well. 
The Debian maintainer commented in comment #2 that there doesn't seem to be any changes added in the Ubuntu package which isn't in upstream.
(I haven't investigated the details)

Changelog entries in Debian:

python-evdev (0.7.0+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Limit the architecture to linux-any. Closes: #875624.
  * Switch to Python 3 Docutils and Sphinx, build-conflicting on
    python-sphinx to avoid issues with that being picked in preference to
    python3-sphinx.
  * Clean up debian/control with cme.
  * Drop the new-package-should-not-package-python2-module override
    since this is no longer a new package.
  * Standards-Version 4.1.1, no change required.
