Regarding the original report: $> grep python-pil debian/control python-pytest, python-pil | python-imaging, Recommends: python-pytest, python-pil, python-imaging
so the only "harm" here is a possible recommends of python-imaging. IMHO severity is exaggerated. Anyways, I will remove now python-imaging "linkage" altogether since it seems from http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/python-openpyxl.html that we build recent openpyxl only on the systems which already have python-pil, so backports shouldn't be harmed at this point.

I am quite confused here 1. (git)hopa:~exppsy/openpyxl[debian] $> grep Maintainer debian/control Maintainer: NeuroDebian Team <t...@neuro.debian.net> so it is not under Debian Science team maintenance... you are officially stating that you will hijack the package if we do not reply in 24h? not nice IMHO... BUT I would appreciate if you do ;) the package is of general interest etc, with only one IF: do not drop Python 2 support until it is a very strong mandate that we MUST not support python 2. Let me know if you would like to do that, then I will leave the removal of python-imaging for you 2. hopa:/tmp $> debcheckout python-openpyxl declared git repository at git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/openpyxl.git git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/openpyxl.git python-openpyxl ...
