Hi, Apologies for not answering the initial report.
Upstream does a release every few days which makes tracking their versions impossible. For that reason and generally speaking, update requests should come with an explanation of why an update will be useful. The reason for this package was to be able to move forward with dropping python-oauth2client in favor of maintained libraries initially because oauth2client uses APIs removed from pyopenssl and later on because that helps with authentication in gcalcli, mutt/neomutt, and others. The package itself is present purely as a dependency of python-googleapi and I'm not sure it has another use than that. I wasn't around in August so I couldn't follow up with that unfortunately but I never intended to hold tight on the package due to all of the above. At the moment, I'm not entirely clear on the course of action to have it inside the DPT however. -- Adrien
