Public bug reported: Debian is working to remove python-xml before the lenny release. If would be good if Ubuntu could manage the same for Hardy. Since some time a subset of python-xml is included in the standard python library, while the python-xml package did not see any updates for years. It is time to drop it from the distribution.
Update scenarios: - Just drop the (build) dependency, if the functionality is included in python. (Build)-depend on python (>= 2.4). - Copy missing code in the std library from the python-xml package. (e.g. for some installer packages: localechoose). - Use another xml library (python-4suite-xml, python-lxml). This has been the subject of a recent mass bug filing in Debian, so in many cases it's just a question of syncing an updated package from Debian.
