Hi Felix,

Thank you for the patch.  For what it's worth, I'm not able to create a
situation where zookeeper won't build due to the missing dependency
without explicitly uninstalling dh-python.

Starting from a clean chroot:

$ apt-get build-dep zookeeper

will install dh-python via transitive dependencies.  I believe via python3:

^^^^^^^^^
In any event, adding an explicit build-dep won't hurt.  It will be
included in the next upload.

Cheers,
tony
