Bug Description

Please sync pyfribidi 0.10.0-2 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
If I recall correctly, there was an issue that pyfribidi 0.6.0 used some
internal (& currently removed) symbol in fribidi, that the fribidi upstream did
not hide when he wrote fribidi 0.10.x.

Another thing is that pyfribidi 0.6.0 is susceptible to heap-based buffer
overflows when used with fribidi 0.19.x, please look at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570068

Changelog entries since current lucid version 0.6.0-4.1build1:

pyfribidi (0.10.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added python-pyfribidi-dbg package.
  * debian/rules:
    + pass --buildsystem= instead of -S to dh, as a workaround for bug
      #570039.
    + Override dh_auto_test to run tests_pyfribidi.py
  * Added patch buffer_overflow.diff to create an output buffer that assumes
    4-byte sequences for all Unicode characters (Closes: #570068)
  * Added patch testbigString.diff to resurrect bigString test that was
    removed in upstream release 0.8
