Thanks for the report, I noticed that pdfrw is not in Debian, at least
that I could find. Nor do I find anyone filing an ITP for the
package. Please correct me if this is wrong!

A good first step to resolving this embedded code copy would be to get
that library into Debian. Does anyone intend to package this?

I've added rst2pdf to the embedded code copies list so it can be
properly tracked.
