python-kivy dep depends on python-gst0.10 iso alternatives

The 1.9.1 python-kivy deb package now depends on python-gst0.10 alone while kivy will check various installed libs at runtime like python-opencv. The issue is that it’s impossible to have the deb installed without python-gst also installed. With python-gst the kivy.camera will not work on my systems, MSI Flex, but do work with python-opencv as backend for the kivy.camera. So a solution would be to allow alternatives as dependency for the package.

So instead off:

  Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~), python:any (<< 2.8), python-kivy-common (= 1.9.1-0~stable0+201602121318~pkg103~ubuntu14.04.1), python-kivy-bin (= 1.9.1-0~stable0+201602121318
~pkg103~ubuntu14.04.1), python-docutils, python-pygments, python-gst0.10, xclip, xsel

Something like:

 Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~), python:any (<< 2.8), python-kivy-common (= 1.9.1-0~stable0+201602121318~pkg103~ubuntu14.04.1), python-kivy-bin (= 1.9.1-0~stable0+201602121318
~pkg103~ubuntu14.04.1), python-docutils, python-pygments, python-gst0.10 | python-opencv, xclip, xsel

Hey. This issue persists.

On ubuntu 16.10 and 17.04, trying to install “kivy” from the ppa, it throws that depends on “python-kivy”, trying to install it, throws that depends on “python-gst0.10” but isn’t installable. Will that receive a fix? Installing the .deb throws a lot of dependencies, that will go all day to be done.

For now i’m going to use the VM released by kivy, but that is not the ideal.

Tks.
