Honestly, I don't see why dropping: you need that version, and that
version only, to build it correctly. Consider an outdated environment
where epydoc 3.0.1-3 and docutils 0.6 are present: pymvpa will FTBFS.
Unlikely such an env exists, but versioned depends are here for
specifying a precise version needed, or from one onward.

>From all the version released after lenny, you need that one to be
usable with python-docutils 0.6, so I suggest to leave it as it is.
