** Summary changed:

- [MIR] soupsieve
+ [MIR] soupsieve (dependency of beautifulsoup4)

** Description changed:

  [Availability]
  From Debian. Bootstrapped in disco.
  
  [Rationale]
  beautifulsoup4 4.7 introduced soupsieve as a new dependency. This is 
replacing the same functionality that used to be part of beautifulsoup4 itself.
  
  [Security]
  This is a Python library, with no binaries on PATH.
  It's relatively young, with a spotless security history, so far.
  
  [Quality assurance]
  It's a library. No configuration, no debconf questions.
  
  There's a fairly extensive test-suite, run at build-time and as autopkgtests.

+ (Currently failing because this MIR isn't through yet and there's a missing 
versioned dependency in the autopkgtest. Fixed in -3)
  
  [Dependencies]
  The Python2 binary packages depend on backports.functools-lru-cache. This is 
a backport of the same functionality from Python 3, and is trivially maintained.
  
  [Standards compliance]
  It's a Python library, lintian-clean.
  
  [Maintenance]
  Expected to just be synced from Debian.
  
  [Background information]
  Probably promote python-soupsieve, python-backports.functools-lru-cache and 
python3-soupsive, but not pypy-soupsieve.
