It shouldn't be too hard to replace it with python-jinja2 (pulls in
pytz, tzdata, python-babel, python-markupsafe) or something else.
But to be accepted upstream, we need to find a way to remain
compatible with the existing templates (lazy-loading cheetah when no
template engine is explicitly chosen)

us a hint if we want to get our patches upstreamed)
