After the Odoo package is built, the package.py script uses a Docker
image to test the package. After that python3-qrcode was added as a
dependency for the package in 2ff49c5f , it revealed some issues.
A missing cli parameter and a forgotten '&&' in the Dockerfile prevented
the installation of the depending packages.
Also, the script shebang was wrong by launching python2.
Finally, the fact that python3-xlwt is missing in Debian stretch was
highlighted. With this commit, the python3-xlwt is explicitly removed
from the dependencies and the documentation is updated accordingly.

As stated in issue #27752, some Debian packages are only recommended.
As a consequence, these packages are not installed on the Official
Docker image. In that case, if the user wants to install an Odoo module
that needs one of these package, the Docker container has to be
modified.
python3-qrcode and python3-vobject are now part of the latest Debian
stable (stretch) and the latest Ubuntu LTS (Bionic Beaver).
Also, they are pure python, and very small.
Thus, the Debian package can depends on them.

On Ubuntu Xenian, the Odoo package was difficult to install because
three Debian packages were required but could not be found in Ubuntu
repositories. As those packages are not really crucial, they are
now only suggegsted by the Debian package which is therefore
installable on Ubuntu Xenial. One can manually install them as
explained in the documentation.
Closes#20000
