[Python-modules-team] Bug#932585: Does not seem to actually require epydoc

[Kenneth Pronovici]

The package has a Build-Depends-Indep and a Depends on python-epydoc,
but there is no reference to epydoc anywhere in the source code or in
the debian package structure.

It's not clear why these dependencies were added in 0.8.0~dev650-1
back in 2014.  However, the package builds successfully without
python-epydoc installed in my unstable chroot.

The INSTALL file with the source package says that everything should
be ok as long as the module imports cleanly.  I also tested this in my
unstable chroot.

Since it doesn't seem to be needed, I am going to NMU a new package
removing these dependencies.  That will resolve this bug.

Description-en: Python WBEM Client and Provider Interface
 PyWBEM is a Python library that implements a Web Based Enterprise
 Management (WBEM) client.  It performs WBEM operations using the
 CIM-XML and CIM Operations over HTTP protocols as defined by the
 Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).  WBEM is used to remotely
 describe and manage distributed computing environments.  It is a peer
 and perhaps successor to the SNMP protocol.
