This issue manage to make the way up in my ToDo list this week, after way too 
much time. I'm sorry for the long delay.

Since I'm a bit out-of-sync here, I will like to know if I missing something 
here. I mean, the transition didn't happen yet, so there is still time to do 
it correctly, right?

Some clarifications:
 - The python-pypdf packages did not migrated to PyPDF2. PyPDF2 is a fully 
independent package: python-pypdf2. Maybe I'm understanding something wrong, I 
don't know what Elena means with https://bugs.debian.org/749321#15
 - pypdf and pypdf2 are fully compatible API wise. They are imported as pyPdf 
and PyPDF2 respectably. 
 - I submitted bugs against the reversed dependencies (Oct 2014). This still 
look pending:
        bookletimposer: #763974
        kraft: #763980
        pdfshuffle: #763973
        pisa: #763981
        w3af: #763975

I see two possible ways here:
 1. Follow the Jeremy's advice: Upload a dummy python-pypdf, which will depend 
on python-pypdf2 and expose the pypdf2 interface.
 2. NMU the revers dependencies to import PyPDF2 in them, since not much 
action was taken from the maintainers in the last months.

I don't getting your comment here. python-pypdf contains the module pyPdf.

Cheers, luciano
