Why has fedpkg suddenly grown a dependency on MySQL-python?

[Tom Lane]

I was rather surprised to find a routine "yum update" on my F14 system
suddenly wanting to pull in a lot of mysql stuff that I'd not had
installed at the moment.  Investigation showed that if I try to remove
MySQL-python again, yum wants to take all this stuff with it:

Removing:
 MySQL-python         x86_64  1.2.3-1.fc14                      @updates  228 k
Removing for dependencies:
 TurboGears           noarch  1.0.9-8.fc14                      @updates  7.6 M
 bodhi-client         noarch  0.8.0-1.fc14                      @updates   25 k
 fedora-easy-karma    noarch  0-0.15.20110825git36efb338.fc14   @updates   75 k
 fedora-packager      noarch  0.5.9.2-2.fc14                    @updates   72 k
 fedpkg               noarch  0.5.9.2-2.fc14                    @updates  248 k
 python-fedora        noarch  0.3.25.1-1.fc14.1                 @updates  1.7 M
 python-sqlobject     noarch  0.10.2-6.fc14                     @fedora   1.6 M

Needless to say, that would put rather a crimp in my ability to do any
Fedora packaging work on this machine.

AFAIK, there is no legitimate reason for fedpkg or fedora-packager to
need to talk to a mysql database, so I'd really like to see this
dependency go away again.  I have routine occasion to shuffle mysql
packages in and out, and I don't want entirely-unnecessary dependencies
getting in the way.
