Fine with me. Yegor, can you respin your patch then with
Config.in.legacy handling?

It would have been good to hear from Clayton to know why he added this
package in May 2015. I think it might have been at some point a
dependency of some SELinux stuff, but even the pending SELinux patches
don't make any reference to it. The only reference I could find was in
the changelog of one of the patches, which says:

"""
  - Remove dependancy on host-python-pyxml (Ryan B.)
"""

But the current python-pyxml package only implements the target
variant. So, /me confused.

Clayton, Ryan?
