[Bug 2008240] [NEW] Please remove package (python3-)zhmcclient from lunar onwards

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This is to request the removal of the (python3-)zhmcclient package from
lunar (and onwards).

It is an optional package that can be used by MAAS (for s390x only), but it is not mandatory.
It's for a pretty special use case, for s390x environments only.
The recent versions of the zhmcclient require more and more python modules that do not exist - neither in Debian, nor in Ubuntu and would need to be created and then also actively maintained.

In the past already significant effort was spent to avoid the packaging of certain modules, like 'immutable'. And it was quite an effort to get is maintained and adjusted.
Now more and more python module requirements came up, like 'nocasedict' and 'yamlloader'.

After discussing the future of this package (and potential options) with
the MAAS team (as I mentioned before, actually the potential exploiter),
it was agreed to not spent the effort for a zhmcclient DEB package
anymore, and instead really needed (rare cases), rely on the version
available via pip, which is actively maintained by the zhmcclient
development team.

So please pull the package (python3-)zhmcclient from lunar and lunar-
proposed.

The package has no reverse dependencies:

$ reverse-depends -a source src:zhmcclient
No reverse dependencies found

$ reverse-depends src:zhmcclient
No reverse dependencies found

$ reverse-depends python3-zhmcclient
No reverse dependencies found
