[Pkg-postgresql-public] Bug#908522: python-dateutil breaks patroni autopkgtest

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of python-dateutil the autopkgtest of patroni fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
python-dateutil from unstable. It passes when run with only packages
from testing. I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is contributing to the delay of the migration
of python-dateutil to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I
filed this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate
the situation and reassign the bug to the right package? If needed,
please change the bug's severity.

For reference of the patroni maintainers, bug 907718: "RRULE UNTIL
values must be specified in UTC when DTSTART is timezone-aware" already
exist against the python-dateutils package with multiple affected
packages and multiple bugs blocking the "fix". I can't judge from the
error logging if this is at all related.
