Public bug reported:
The Ubuntu-specific hud-tools package depends on python-polib, which has
been dropped from the polib source package in Debian and focal-proposed.
To remain in Ubuntu 20.04 and beyond, this package will need to be
updated to not depend on python-polib.
It also appears that the hud-tools package does not comply with the
python packaging policy, because it depends on python-polib and python-
lxml but does not depend on python at all. Given that future versions
of the system will not ship /usr/bin/python as a python2 interpreter,
it's important that this be fixed as well if the intent is to continue
shipping hud-tools.
