[SRU] python-ceph Depends on librgw1, which is no longer built

[Jamie Strandboge]

[Impact]
Package is un-installable in 12.04. librgw1 and the associated python binding have been dropped upstream - librgw1 has already been dropped from the 12.04 packages but the dependency for python-ceph and binding have not been.

See https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg12972.html - people are trying to use it with openstack.

[Test Case]
apt-get install python-ceph
[...]
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python-ceph : Depends: librgw1 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[Regression Potential]
As this package is currently broken its completely non functional; changes are limited to this package only so I would not expect regression in other parts of the package.

[Original Bug Report]
Summary says it all: python-ceph Depends on librgw1, which is no longer built

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Will target this as an SRU, python-ceph is not in main and not depended on during installation.

Upstream has dropped rgw.py and the dependency from their upstream packages, so we will do the same.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Just an FYI, I believe upstream has addressed this by removing the rgw1
stuff from python-ceph, and so that should be arriving in the next merge
from Debian and/or Upstream.
