Comment(by warner):

 I updated the debian packaging rules last night, and now the py2.4-based
 distributions (etch and edgy, I believe) add a python-sqlite2 dependency,
 and the more recent ones do not. I'd prefer to not force py2.5-based
 platforms to install an extra package. And I'd prefer that we use the
 stdlib {{{sqlite3}}} module in preference to an external {{{pysqlite2}}}
 module. Think about it this way: when py2.4 is long dead, do you still
 want us to be requiring people to install a third-party module to
 duplicate stdlib functionality?
