rst2pdf declares a requirement for python3-pypdf2 in
Build-Depends-Indep.

I've recently adopted pypdf and pypdf2 into the Debian Python Team in response to an RFA for both packages.  As these are somewhat security sensitive packages (among my first acts after adopting the packages was to upload proposed updates for both to address minor security issues in Bookworm in the next point release - same bug in both), I do not think we should release pypdf2 in Trixie and have filed an RC bug to that effect.

It looks like the current upstream release has already been ported to
use python3-pypdf (which is really pypdf3).  Please update your package.

Hi,

I’m the one of the leads on rst2pdf itself.

Is there anything you want me to do related to this?

Thank you for being interested in its status in Debian.  No.  My understanding is that all this needs is for the maintainer in Debian to update the package to the most current release.

The next Debian release is likely at least a year and a half from now, so there's plenty of time.
