Re: [Help] New package python-loky build time test times out

Hello,

I am a Python developer and upstream maintainer.
I am not much experience when it comes to distro packaging.
This is just an example of a case I often do observe. And I always ask 
myself why this happens.

I checked both package and do not understand why python-loky exist. It 
is a mini package with less benefit. Why does Debian burn resources in 
packaging things like this. I would ask python-cogent to remove that 
dependency instead of create a package for it. As upstream maintainer I 
would not dare to have dependencies like this in my project and bother 
distro maintainers with it.

I am assuming this package will be orphaned in the near future.

I am asking the upstream maintainer for a justification about this 
dependency:
