When DOLFIN is not available and I run

  ffc -l dolfin -r quadrature SteadyStokes.ufl

like in the bug report above, I get

  Unable to generate DOLFIN wrappers, missing module dolfin_utils.wrappers.

  *** FFC: Unable to generate DOLFIN wrappers, missing module
dolfin_utils.wrappers.
  *** FFC: To get more information about this error, rerun FFC with --debug.

which I think is a okay error message. If I rerun FFC with the --debug
flag, I get the same error message as in the bug report.

Maybe the best and simplest solution is to add python-dolfin as a
recommendation or a suggestion in the python-ffc package.
