At the time when I introduced python-ssdeep to Debian, fuzzy hashing was
not a thing. tlsh didn't exist. Now it is there and tlsh seems
technically supperior albeit incompatible. So unless there is some
compatibility reason for keeping ssdeep, I think it should be RoQAed.

And no, updating it to 3.4 does not fix the ftbfs.

Would someone handle dnstwist, which is the only remaining dependency?
