         sections = self._cfg.keys()
         patterns = []
         self.pattern_to_section = {}

It was introduced in:

Revision: 3864 revid:jelmer at samba.org-20100205125432-8rphbf33ammnipwf
Date: 05/02/2010 12:54
Committer: Jelmer Vernooij
Branch: experimental
Bug: http://bugs.debian.org/555343 fixed

Remove embedded copy of python-elementtree. Closes: #555343


I can't see why this change should be necessary.
