[Bug 2028054] Re: [MIR] python-rlpycairo

[Sebastien Bacher]

We unblocked adding back hplip to the ISO by demoting python3-reportlab
to a suggest, it's not ideally but according to Till the fax utilities
that need it aren't really used anymore, we will revisit if that's
creating issues for users

Title:
  [MIR] python-rlpycairo

Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently
  owned by Foundations).

  The only consumer of python-reportlab is hplip (owned by Desktop),
  apparently it needs it for scanning: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651240

  $ reverse-depends src:python-reportlab -c main -r mantic
  Reverse-Depends
  ===============
  * hplip                         (for python3-reportlab)

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x

  src:hplip -> src:python-reportlab -> src:python-rlpycairo ->
  src:freetype-py & src:ttf-bitstream-vera

  So from the above, it sounds like this new dependency is actually
  needed (after the reportlab package dropped its renderpm extension).
  It should be discussed between Foundations and Desktop who's owning
  those dependencies and doing the MIRs for python-rlpycairo, freetype-
  py and ttf-bitstream-vera
