Package: python-feedparser
Version: 4.1-5
Severity: normal

feedparser tries to import libxml2 and uses it to quickly and accurately parse 
well-formed feeds.  feedparser will continue to run if no XML parser is 
available, but with reduced functionality (i.e. it will not report whether the 
feed is well-formed, a flag that some users consider important).  In my tests, 
libxml2 is the fastest Python XML parser available, and I (as the upstream 
author) feel that it should be "recommended" to users who install the 
python-feedparser package.
