Hi.

I notice you've all made quite a kerfuffle over the cherrypy module,
with some people wishing to remove it for python2 from the Debian
archives, and some people wishing to keep it because calibre depends on it.

Please be advised that the calibre program dropped its dependency on
cherrypy in version 3.0, with the complete from-scratch rewrite of its
content-server component. This was a full major version and (as of the
time of this writing) 52 feature releases ago. The removal occurred on
Sun May 21 04:09:11 2017 via this commit:
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/commit/5ed88a0bf596ea4389ac4fe08ccf249c7693d04d

Please remove this ancient, unused dependency from the Debian packaging
for calibre, thereby clearing the way to dropping the python2-cherrypy
module. All it does is waste the disk space of calibre users.
