Hello Sebastiaan,
I'm adding Antonio here because I was not able to find the mbox to reply
to Debian GIS mailinglist and not break the thread.

You may want to coordinate with Antonio Valentino who also expressed
interest in packaging python-geographiclib:

Hello Antonio, as the maintainer of geopy (and a user of it) I care that
python3-geographiclib doesn't desappear from Debian. Please tell me if I
can help, or if not just go ahead and upload the python binding.
Thanks Daniele.
I should have no problem in preparing and maintaining the package but as
a DM I cannot make the first upload myself. At some point I will need
someone to sponsor the new package.
Also, I will be very very busy for the next 2-3 weeks, so having the
package ready could take some time.
I only ask you if you could upload into experimental first.
sure, it makes totally sense.
Currently geopy's upstream declares geographiclib dependency as follow:
'geographiclib<2,>=1.49',
but it only uses the Geodesic object from graographiclib, I mean it do:
from geographiclib.geodesic import geodesic
in the geopy.distance module. In the geopy's Debian package I don't set an upper
bound version for python3-geographiclib: I'm going to enable autopkgtests (I
run only built time test rigt now, and geopy.distance is covered by tests) so
we will discover if geographiclib 2.0 is already supported.
Currently there is not tag for V2.0 in
https://github.com/geographiclib/geographiclib-python
The latest version tagged is 1.52 that is already in debian (sid).
I need to understand what is the best way to proceed for the new
standalone python package.
kind regards
