This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 5.27-0ubuntu1

---------------
byobu (5.27-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * usr/bin/byobu-config: LP: #1097922, #1098102
    - ensure byobu-config works even if ~/.profile doesn't exist
  * usr/bin/byobu-ctrl-a: LP: #1098229
    - fix typo that breaks ctrl-a selection behavior
  * usr/bin/byobu: LP: #1026595
    - fix readlink detection; we were using BYOBU_TEST before it was defined
    - instead, try to greadlink -f .; operationally the same
  * usr/lib/byobu/include/dirs: LP: #1025998
    - more XDG annoyances
    - use $HOME/.config/byobu as BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR if it exists
  * === added symlink usr/bin/byobu-screen, === added symlink
    usr/bin/byobu-tmux, === target is byobu: LP: #1022882
    - add symlinks to repo, makes it easier to use byobu straight out of
      bzr
  * usr/bin/byobu-select-profile: LP: #946112
    - fix byobu interactive color selection in tmux
  * usr/lib/byobu/distro, usr/lib/byobu/release: LP: #1004722
    - use sw_vers utility on Mac to determine distro and release

Looks like the packages get the .so's backwards. _snack.so is the debug version and _snack_d.so is the non-debug version. Now I just have to figure out why that happens.

Okay, so the d/p/python3.patch mixed up -z and -n for the [ command.

  * debian/patches/python3.patch: Fix the $$variant tests in Makefile.in.
    -z means to check for zero length (-n is for non-zero length). This
    got the order of the _snack{,_d}.so files reversed. (LP: #1097922)
