Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

and pushed. Is the following section of README still accurate? At least
the mention of "PyXML" seems wrong to me.
        
        Python Runtime Libraries
        ========================
        
        Xend (the Xen daemon) has the following runtime dependencies:
        
            * Python 2.3 or later.
              In some distros, the XML-aspects to the standard library
              (xml.dom.minidom etc) are broken out into a separate python-xml 
package.
              This is also required.
              In more recent versions of Debian and Ubuntu the XML-aspects are 
included
              in the base python package however (python-xml has been removed
              from Debian in squeeze and from Ubuntu in intrepid).
        
                  URL:    http://www.python.org/
                  Debian: python
        
            * For optional SSL support, pyOpenSSL:
                  URL:    http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net/
                  Debian: python-pyopenssl
        
            * For optional PAM support, PyPAM:
                  URL:    http://www.pangalactic.org/PyPAM/
                  Debian: python-pam
        
            * For optional XenAPI support in XM, PyXML:
                  URL:    http://codespeak.net/lxml/
                  Debian: python-lxml
                  YUM:    python-lxml
