[docs] [issue35472] python 3.7.2 rc1 bumped the build requirements for no reason

[Matthias Klose]

Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org> added the comment:

"if one uses the doc Makefile venv target". which is not possible for distributions which are not allowed to use anything but the distro to build the distro.

so why bumping the version requirement to 1.7 instead of 1.6.6? Afaicu this is the required version.

I don't argue against introducing new build requirements in major versions, but having them introduced on the branches.
