Package: src:pypdf2
Version: 2.11.2-1
https://github.com/py-pdf/PyPDF2 now redirects to
https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf. In that repository, it's clear that
PyPDF2 has been replaced by "pypdf", and version 3.0.0 is the end of the
line for PyPDF2.
Debian should probably provide both PyPDF2 and pypdf for the next stable
release, and then drop PyPDF2 afterward.
--dkg

Indeed, that's the last backward compatible release.

Cool! But I still haven't checked. Hopefully I will check tomorrow morning.

I'm not sure if we know each other, but I have the knowledge that you
are a nice guy. Sure, I'm open to collaboration and Salsa is a good
place to start.

I'm not sure what would be the best practices for this case, but
definitely a continued packaging is preferred from my side.

I'm even open to you taking over the package and making me an uploader.

To be honest, I was going to look for an adopter for this package
this summer, probably after migrating it to src:pypdf. If you are
interested, even contributed already to the project then you are the
best candidate. As noted, you can take over immediately while leaving
me as an uploader for a while.
Best,
