Hello Lionel, Actually this is more about REMOVING an old deprecated python XML dependency and replacing it by a a very standard one that is still supported rather than ADDING something risky.
No problem with Hardy LTS at all, if you look at the patch, it's using etree from lxml, which is standard for Hardy too: packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python-lxml even Edgy has it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/edgy/amd64/python-lxml/1.0.3-1 Now, the old xpath a xml.dom library that are currently used by OpenERP are deprecated since Ubuntu Jaunty (there were a port for Jaunty, there doesn't seem to be anymore for Karmic). Those old XML libs are also not supported by other emerging Python interpreters such as Pypy or Jython. And again, I think, debdiff is NOT A REAL SOLUTION, because just can't just take an OpenERP release and say you'll use it in prod. IT DOESN'T WORK, ALMOST NO INTEGRATOR DOES THIS. Take version 5.0.3, it has bugs like you can't validade the invoice, take version 5.0.6, amount due in invoice is totally screwed up, all those version include very critical SQL injections bugs allowing privilege escalation... So what we need is to be able to use 5-0 branch on popular Linux distro such as Ubuntu. And is there a point to use an unstable old buggy patched OpenERP upon a stable Ubuntu? IMHO it's mush more import to support stable (eg 5-0 branch and patchable via bzr) version of OpenERP on current Ubuntu distro (this even doesn't break compatibility with old ones as I said).
