And to clarify, this update should not break the world: it should be a drop in
replacement that will work with current bugzilla.redhat.com and future
bugzilla.redhat.com, modulo bugs of course.

If this update breaks a /usr/bin/bugzilla invocation or direct use of the
bugzilla module, please file a bug. For some things the answer might be
'change your code' but many things are trivial to work around in python-bugzilla.
