looks like PyPDF2 2.12.1 is the last version before a major
(backward-incompatible) change in 3.0.0.  and PyPDF2 3.0.0 itself
indicates that it is deprecated in favor of pypdf 3.x

I've prepared some packaging for PyPDF2 2.12.1-0.1 and put it in salsa
at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pypdf

If that's someplace that you'd be up for collaborating, i'd be happy to
help out on it with you there.

We can probably also use the same repository (just different branches)
for packaging pypdf, since i would expect that packaging to just inherit
directly from the pypdf2 packaging, and it can be nice to have the
history in the same location.

Let me know if that's something you'd be up for collaboratong on,
László!

If you don't like it, i'm also happy to remove the repo from salsa.  I
defer to you as the maintainer here.

All the best,

     --dkg
