Bug#857507: mesh generation module 'mshr' missing

[Steve M. Robbins]

Package: python-dolfin
Version: 2016.2.0-2
Severity: normal

The second tutorial script 'ft02_poisson_membrane.py' [1] fails to run because the
python module 'mshr' is missing:

$ python ft02_poisson_membrane.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ft02_poisson_membrane.py", line 12, in <module>
    from mshr import *
ImportError: No module named mshr
Aborted (core dumped)


The tutorial makes it sound like mshr is an expected part of the source distribution.
