Solution for the Debian 4suite/PyXML problem



Hi,

  I've implemented a solution for the current problem with
  4Suite 0.11 and PyXML 0.7. It seems to me the most elegant
  way to work around the problem:
  
  - python-xml 0.6.6 is coming back in Debian and shipped as
    python-xml-0.6 (xbel-utils-0.6 is also provided for those
    willing to use xbel-utils and having 4suite on their system;
    the xbel package does not depend on anything python-related so
    the one from 0.7 is fine).
    It conflicts with python-xml.
  - python-4suite now depends on python-xml-0.6
  - 4xslt and 4xpath are now back in python-xml 0.7 since the
    conflicts between python-xml-0.6 and python-xml make it
    impossible to have both python-4suite and python-xml installed
    at the same time.

  All packages are ready for upload. However, python-xml-0.6 will
  have to enter the archives before I upload the remaining packages,
  in order to ensure that dependencies are met.

  You can test them right now:

    http://people.debian.org/~jerome woody/

  in /etc/apt/sources.list

  (I tested myself that APT resolves dependencies correctly).

  Alexandre (or anyone else), could you please have a look
  at http://bugs.debian.org/141549.
  I have already applied patches for #140148 and #133548.

  Post-woody plans.
  -----------------

  Once Woody is released as well as 4suite 0.12, we'll be
  able to remove python-xml-0.6.

  I'll probably upload python-4suite 0.12 and then it will be the
  right time for me to give all my Python packages to
  Alexandre Fayolle since he's the right guy for this job and
  I don't want to take care of Python packages anymore.

  I will help him on packaging and will sponsor him though.
