The reason is that I want the package to inherit the propagated inputs
from 'python-cffi' as the latter requires 'python-pycparser' at run
time. If I don't make python-cffi a propagated-input, but a normal
input, I need to copy the propagated-inputs from that package and
(re-) make them propagated-inputs of python-xcffib as well.

A similar reason applier to python-xcffib in python-cairocffi and to
pygobject + python-cairocffi + gobject-introspection + pathon-pycairo
in python-matplotlib.

Is that OK?
