[Availability]
The package python-typeguard is already in Ubuntu universe. Link to package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-typeguard

[Rationale]
The package python-typeguard is required in Ubuntu main as it is a dependency for python-inflect, which is already in main (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-inflect).

[Security]
No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past.
python-typeguard does not place executables in in /sbin and usr/sbin.
python-typeguard does not install services, timers, or recurring jobs.
python-typeguard does not run as a service or require special isolation features.
python-typeguard does not open privledged ports or expose external endpoints.
python-typeguard does not contain extensions to security sensitive software and does not contain any cryptography functionality.

[Quality assurance – functional/usage]
The package works well right after install.

[Quality assurance – maintenance]
The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does not have too many long-term and critical open bugs*:

- Upstream: https://github.com/agronholm/typeguard/issues
*Note the package has a FTBFS bug in the Debian bug reports related to a failure to build for Trixie as linked above.

The package appears to run autopkgtest as well as unit tests as build.

[Quality assurance – packaging]
