Comment 12 for bug 464137

This bug was fixed in the package python-distutils-extra - 2.17

---------------
python-distutils-extra (2.17) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * python-mkdebian:
    - Use OptionParser for argv processing.
    - Add --changelog option to specify changelog message (can be used more
      than once for different tasks)
    - Add --dependency option to add a manual debian package dependency
      (can be used more than once for each package)

  [ Elliot Murphy ]
  * python-mkdebian:
    - Change from python-central to python-support for consistency with
      debian python packaging team preference.
    - Update to Standards-Version: 3.8.3
    - Fix a typo that caused additional_dependencies defaulting to None
      instead of [].
    - If debchange is not available, give a more friendly error message.
      (LP: #464137)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * auto.py: Document handling of icons.
