  Description     : MediaWiki render server for use with the Collection extension

Please package everything needed to run a render server for MediaWiki.
The Collection extension is already packaged in src:mediawiki-extensions,
and the mediawiki-math-texvc binary package is also available already,
as seem to be most of the dependencies listed in the setup.py files of
mwlib, mwlib.ext, mwlib.rl (I think we need at least these three), with
the possible exceptions of timelib, apipkg, odfpy (I asked whether there
was a mapping somewhere of setup.py dependency names to Debian package
names, but apparently there isn’t).

I absolutely refuse to do anything with easy_install, python-virtualenv,
pip, or similar things on production servers and would really like to
avoid running 'setup.py' as that thing seems to additionally download
and install “other” stuff… also “if it’s not in Debian, it doesn’t exist”
except a render server is really needed…

Thanks in advance!
