James,

as others have said, python-reportlab is no longer needed, already so in 3.1.
In 3.2, also python glade bindings are no longer needed. I update the README

Actually, I now cannot recollect why we need python-gnome2. Anybody know?
Looking at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=541560,
and the link http://wiki.debian.org/GnomePythonSplitting, I'm pretty
sure that the dependencies there (gconf, gnomevfs, gnome) are not
needed.
