No, most likely because of python:Depends in debian/control ;-)

Sorry, I started to investigate myself - I think this is caused
by "tools/session_exchange.py" which imports both gtk and twisted.internet.
I've no idea haow useful/neccessary this script is (I tried it but it refused
to accept my ardour sessions).
Looking at the list of files
(http://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/ardour3/filelist)
it looks as if the script isn't even included in the debian package. So, maybe
dropping python:Depends would be a good idea.

 Thanks for your work
