Benjamin Peterson added the comment:
Throwing exceptions through CPython is totally unsupported, -fexceptions or not. Like C++ code that's not exception-aware, CPython lacks any of the catch handlers to properly clean up resources on unwind. Thus, throwing exceptions through CPython will lead to, at best, resource leaks and, at worst, subtle corruption of interpreter data structures.
I'm not sure why Debian would take this patch.
