itstool is also a dependency of yelp-tools which is a dependency of
gnome-user-docs. While there's nothing preventing it to be used by any
app, I think that it will be picked up by GNOME faster.
The only Python script I found in itstool was one to run the testcases
(which also include po and pot files); everything else is XML. Anyway,
I'm definitely not very active with Debian Python so it's not my place
to say whether it should or should not be in PAPT.
