Dear Maintainer,

While doing a rebuild of pytsk to unblock a few things as part of the GCC 5
transition; I've tried running one of the tsk examples (istat, specifically),
and noticed that pytsk3 doesn't import at all:

$ python -c 'import pytsk3'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytsk3.x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: Object_init

I've added the patch used, as proposed upstream, to solve the issue:

  * debian/patches/fix_object_init_undefined.patch: don't inline Object_init,
    doing so breaks importing pytsk3.

This was noticed specifically when unblocking the following:
 afflib/3.7.6-2ubuntu2
 xmount/0.7.3-1build1
 sleuthkit/4.1.3-11ubuntu2
 dff/1.3.0+dfsg.1-4.1build3
 pytsk/ppc64el/20150406-2

The above don't appear to include any special Ubuntu patches that would affect
pytsk aside from the GCC 5 transition.

Thanks for considering the patch.
