Hello Dominik,
can you update the DPT on the status of python-charset-normalizer? it
used to be in NEW, but now i cant find it there and it's not in the
archive.

This package is needed at least by httpx, which cannot be upgraded to
its latest version, thus preventing a growing set of packages to be
upgraded, many of them becoming RC and in danger of being removed from
testing.

Thanks,

FWIW: $ grep charset-normalizer /srv/ftp-master.debian.org/log/2021-11
20211106022017|clean-queues|dak|move file to morgue|Incoming/REJECT|python-charset-normalizer_2.0.6-1_amd64.changes|/srv/ftp-master.debian.org/morgue/queues/2021/11/06

So, looks like it got a reject.
My guess would be due to data/sample*

I filed https://github.com/Ousret/charset_normalizer/issues/138
upstream.

In the interest of moving things along, and while we wait for upstream
action on it, should we Files-Excluded: data/ , re-import the upstream
tarball, and disable tests/test_cli.py and
tests/test_full_detection.py (which appear to be the only 2 test files
using the data directory)?

the conversation continued on #debian-ftp, where we came to the
understanding the REJECT was due to a misunderstanding of how some
Licenses information were reported, so i've just reuploaded
python-charset-normalizer as-is from the git repository
