This doesn't actually happen if you build using the modern build toolchain, but does happen if you build using setup.py directly.

It seems like nothing uses Genshi so the simple fix here may well be to just remove its registration? Like, it only gets installed when running test-webkitpy because that calls AutoInstall.install_everything.

This was done as part of 268856@main, bug 260877.

Given this bug is really specific to Genshi being broken by setuptools (unlike most of our dependency upgrade bugs), there's no reason to keep this open.
