[Cloud-packages] Bug#760129: python3-google-apputils: too strict egg dependency on python3-dateutil?

[Robert Edmonds]

Source: google-apputils-python
Version: 0.4.0-2

Hi,

I'm trying to build protobuf 2.6.0's Python bindings against python3.
It's failing because
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/google_apputils-0.4.0.egg-info/requires.txt
says that google.apputils depends on "python-dateutil>=1.4,<2", while
the archive has version 2.0 of dateutil (at least for Python 3).

The package itself doesn't have the upper bound, only the lower one:

    Depends: python3-dateutil (>= 1.4)

(Interestingly, the python-google-apputils package does have the upper
bound: "python-dateutil (<< 2)".)

Could this dependency be relaxed?  E.g., as in the attached patch.

Thanks!
