Hi Seb,

A quick review then.

Both Ubuntu LTS and Debian Stable have version >= 3.3.1 of python-lxml,
so you don't need to specify the version in debian/control.

Same remark for paramiko.

Your package doesn't run any of the upstream tests. Why?

Both -lxml and -paramiko could be in build-depends-indep.

In the doc's conf.py, there's "sphinx.ext.intersphinx". This is to be
patched out, so that the package doesn't do network access during build.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
