Dear Maintainer, The `pyperclip` module provided by python3-pyperclip can be imported successfully even if none of the clipboard tools are available. Other packages that import `pyperclip` (such as `cmd2` provided by python3-cmd2) can also be used without any of the clipboard providers. By using `Recommends:` for the dependency on the clipboard tools, it will be possible to install packages that transitively depend on python3-pyperclip (such as cephfs-shell) without any of the clipboard tools.
