Sure. Here is your bug. So let me give a summary of advantages of the
move:
 * Less code.
 * Works with non-seekable fileobjs.
 * #642020 is fixed for free (but there also is a patch).
 * #689313 would be obsoleted (but there also is a patch).
 * python-arpy has a responsive upstream and maintainer.

The python-arpy package in the NEW queue doesn't have a python3 version, so
this would regress python-debian.  You might want to fix this first.
