The reasoning being that it is no longer a dependency of some OpenStack packages. I use this (currently through a package of the latest upstream release created with py2dsc), and would be interested in getting this back in to Debian. Currently I am not a member of the Python modules team (request pending), but I would be interested in maintaining it as part of the team. The source package can be found here [3], would it be best to try to continue with the history in that repository and bring it in to compliance with the team policy (use pristine-tar, use upstream tarballs to advance the upstream branch and use git-dpm), or to just start from scratch?
