Well, I have someinterst in this, if I am to act as a maintainer of
these packages in the future.

If we are to keep 4Suite-0.11.1, as you suggested on the upstream
mailing lists, we have to figure out a way of not
installing xml.xpath and xml.xslt. This should not be too difficult
(just don't install the directories in debian/rules).
This leaves us with one question: do we ship PyXML's xpath and xslt in
Woody? I'd be a bit reluctant to work on patches now, given the short
delay, since it would be difficult for people to test the patches
properly before Woody goes out, so I'd say it's probably safer to not
put them in, and let people willing to use these tools use testing. Now
if some do not agree and feel it's important to have such tools in
Woody, I can try to put something up.
