[Python-modules-team] Bug#560328: python-docutils: Insufficient dependency on ElementTree implementation

Package: python-docutils
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: minor

python-docutils currently depends on:
python (>= 2.5) | python-lxml | python-elementtree

However, for a reason on another, upstream disabled conditional use of 
lxml's ElementTree implementation:

| $ grep -C3 'from lxml import' /usr/share/pyshared/docutils/writers/odf_odt/__init__.py
| WhichElementTree = ''
| try:
|     # 1. Try to use lxml.
|     #from lxml import etree
|     #WhichElementTree = 'lxml'
|     raise ImportError('Ignoring lxml')
| except ImportError, e:

(Severity minor, because it could only affect pre-lenny systems.)
