[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#585352: rootstrap: Python string exceptions no more allowed in Python 2.6

[Riccardo Murri]

As of rootstrap 0.3.24-5, any failure in a rootstrap module triggers
throwing a string exception in builder.  With Python 2.6, this gets
particularly annoying since the interpreter throws a TypeError
("exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException,
not str") that masks rootstrap's error message.

Please find attached a patch against the builder script of 0.3.24-5

Cheers,
Riccardo
