Dear FTP Masters,

Alike to importlib-resources, the functionality of this
pacakge is not integrated in the Python Standard library.

Upstreams project willing to support Python releases < 3.13
will still want to use this; but it's not needed in Debian anymore.

Please remove this package

Greetings

Alexandre
