Bug Description
In Hardy, the packaging for Genshi gratuitously removes support for setuptools, which is required for Genshi to work as a plugin for TurboGears.
In the debian package for 0.4.4-2, the following changelog entry appears:
* Drop useless dependency on python-setuptools, use distutils instead.
+ Add debian/
python-setuptools is not a "useless" dependency. It supplies the entry_points mechanism which enables Genshi to work as a plugin for TurboGears, as well as other frameworks that support the python.
In fact, the patch itself removes the entry_points information from the setup script.
Please drop the patch from the Ubuntu (and Debian?) packaging for Genshi. That will restore this important functionality.
