python-oracledb is already in Debian, should we RM this package and odpic?

Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc2
version I ran into this FTBFS [1].

To fix this, I've added a patch to support odpi-c 6.

I've applied these fixes in the sandbox [2] to verify that it builds
successfully, these should be applied in Debian to get the package back
to a healthy state.

Happy hacking,
