Please see the fix I attached to it.

Matthias, did you have a FFe on this for vivid? Otherwise, that can wait vivid+1.

this can wait, I only uploaded packages which actually fix dependencies, not
converting anything to python3.

The python2 dependency on gconf2 binary package is due to the fact that migrations scripts are using #!/usr/bin/env python, which is what was adviced by the ubuntu python maintainers so that the day default python is changing, we'll get the correct default version.

dh_python3 is then, adding this python2 dependency. It means that day python3 is the default, a simple package rebuild will be needed.
Considering back this bug as "fix released" as nothing has to be done in gconf itself.

No, you misunderstand dh-python. It won't rewrite shebangs from python to python3.
