Control: severity -1 serious
Control: affects -1 pandas

This breaks the default form of pandas.read_excel().

A workaround for this is to use pandas.read_excel(engine='openpyxl'), and pandas upstream have made this the default:
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/35029/files

I intend to make that default change in Debian pandas, but xlrd is still needed for reading old (.xls) files, and may be preferred for reading large numbers of files (it can be ~10x faster).
