Instead implement the required SOAP functionility by hand. Debbugs' SOAP implementation is archaic/quirky enough that most SOAP libraries have a hard time communicating with it.

Hey @pdewacht, thank you very much, this is really amazing! Your contribution goes well beyond from what I initial anticipated! Before this can be merged I need to do some tests with the reportbug maintainers and check if they spot any issues. Would you be in general open for support in case any new SOAP related issues come up? |

FYI: Your changes plus some future fixes that may pop up, live in this branch for now until testing with reportbug maintainers is concluded and we can merge: https://github.com/venthur/python-debianbts/tree/drop-pysimplesoap |

FYI, I've just uploaded your version to debian/experimental in agreement with the reportbug maintainers. I'll let it sit there for a while and see if we get any issues. |

In my email last week, I suggested not using a SOAP library and instead implementing it by hand. (debbugs's SOAP server is archaic/quicky enough that no SOAP library is going to handle it very well.)
This is what that would look like. It has no dependencies beyond the Python stdlib, and it's barely longer than the original code using pysimplesoap.
