I guess that the intent is for python-six to be installed at build time
and at runtime, right?
I guess we should add Python 2.7+ and Python six to the "Installation
Requirements" section in INSTALL.md (so far they're only in the build
requirements section, which I guess is an existing oversight).
Also we should update the various packaging to require python-six.
Here's an appropriate patch for Debian (I think; it's untested because
I've had patch conflicts):
