After looking again to the current state of suds-jurko (which is no more fully
API compatible), the result of the conversation at DebConf today between
Benjamin and me is:
* Benjamin wants to try first to port profitbrick packages to pysimplesoap,
which now has hit testing.
* After that he will decide, if he wants to take over maintenance of the
current suds package to do a drop-in with suds-jurko or create a separate
suds-jurko package or if at lest he doesn't need suds at all.
