Package: python-ssdeep Version: 3.1+dfsg-1+b2 Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 7.2
python-ssdeep explicitly imports cffi (it's not using one of the out-of-line modes), so it needs to explicitly depend on the python-cffi binary package. This could be avoided if upstream switched to one of the out of line modes. https://cffi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html#purely-for-performance-api-level-out-of-line SR
