Bug#1062039: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence

[john]

Package: apt-xapian-index
Version: 0.54
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: johnny.faul...@yahoo.com

Dear Maintainer,

whilst installing apt-xapian-index, I get the following:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/axi/__init__.py:54: SyntaxWarning: invalid 
escape sequence '\s'
  re_empty = re.compile("^\s*(?:#.*)?$")

the package installs normall and doesn't have any immediate effect on anything. 

easily reproduced by attempting to install it.
