Our python interpreter uses ncclient which depends on lxml egg, but does not explicitly specify to use that lxml from slapos component.

Until now we were lucky because slapos-cookbook depends on the correct lxml and we have slapos-cookbook as the second entry in the part list with only template preceding it.

However I needed to use pythonwitheggs inside that template and then got the build failure, because now pythonwitheggs was built before slapos-cookbook and tried to use lxml without slapos component:

-> Fix it by explicitly specifying in-slapos lxml egg to be used.
