Sid upload just happened, barring any archive errors it should appear
in a couple of hours.

It's not 2.7.12 specifically that is problematic, but a patch that
was added in Debian revision 7. This is the relevant line from the
chnagelog:

    - Issue #28563: Fixed possible DoS and arbitrary code execution when handle
      plural form selections in the gettext module. The expression parser now
      supports exact syntax supported by GNU gettext.

Vincent already mentioned the related upstream bug earlier in this
Laucnhpad bug report.
