Bug#524381: epiphany-extensions: dependency on python-elementtree seems to be pointless

Package: epiphany-extensions
Version: 2.22.2-1
Severity: minor

Hi!

In python-elementtree package description, I read:

| ElementTree is included in Python 2.5, so there is no need to
| install this package if you are using Python 2.5.

On the other hand, epiphany-extensions depends on
python2.5 and python-elementtree.

That makes me think that the dependency on python-elementtree is
pointless and should be dropped.
Or am I completely off-track?
