 that work on at least the most common Linuxes, I would be willing to try
 it. It could be that switching from CPythonAPI to cffi would help, but
 that would work only for the dependent packages that we maintain (zfec and
 pycryptopp) and not the others.

 It might help because if you use cffi then you don't depend on
 {{{libpython2.7.so.1.0 not}}}, which is — I think — the dependency that is
 incompatible between Ubuntu 12 and Debian 7.
