sugar-toolkit according to the requires in the spec file uses
python-simplejson but that doesn't mean that its historically wrong
and just works due to the fact that sugar-datastore pulls in the dep.
The others don't have the explicit requires but then again that is
likely because sugar-datastore and associated deps are available.
