Please sync python-twitter 0.8.2-2 (universe) from Debian unstable
(main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * examples/tweet.py: Fix typo (LP: #702814)
  * Merge with Debian squeeze. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/rules: include final newline to make dpkg-source happy
    - debian/tweet.1: Fix typo
The first fix on tweet.py is not needed because upstream removed the code
around this fix. (It's for basic auth)
The second fix for tweet.1 is merged to debian.

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
The old version (0.6-1ubuntu2) uses basic authentication, but it can't be used
on twitter now. It is changed to OAuth. Therefore, the old version can't be used
at all.
It is reported as the following bugs:
 - Package obsolete due to changed protocol (LP: #997664)
 - please upgrade python-twitter to 0.8.1 (LP: #746850)
 - python-twitter should support OAuth (debbugs: #587749)

Changelog entries since current quantal version 0.6-1ubuntu2:

python-twitter (0.8.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/20_remove_simplejson.patch
  * debian/control
    - remove simplejson from dependencies because it's merged with python 2.6
      and later (Closes: #568875)
    - remove python-httplib2 from dependencies because python-oauth depends
      on it
