Lintian does do a check for them: uses-deprecated-python-stdlib
but beware of false positives, in particular for uu and crypt; see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1077324 (which is
now pending an upload).  (There used to be a website
lintian.debian.org where you could search reports by tag, but that
doesn't seem to exist any more, and I haven't had any luck searching
with UDD.)

Best wishes,
