This is now done, and i've uploaded 2.12.1 of pypdf2 with baseline
packaging fixes, including a cleanup of debian/watch to only look for
versions on the 2.x series.  (took me three tries -- i had to correct my
own mistake for the Vcs-* fields, and to disable two more network tests,
sorry for the sloppiness)

I'm working on this now, but...

I've taken the approach for now that we'll just skip the sample-files.
Looks like we can use the pytest annotations to do that, as well as
skipping the externally-fetched files.  (there are some missing upstream
annotations, but upstream will hopefully accept those fixes directly:
https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/1551)

I've pushed that work to debian/unstable in the same repository, and i
should have an upload for pypdf 3.2.1 in NEW by the time you receive
this.  Please let me know if you have any concerns with the choices i've
made here.
