Package: python3-datalad
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

Dear Maintainer,

python3-datalad currently recommends the packages python3-lzma and
python3-requests-ftp which are not available in debian.

recommending a package that is not present in debian main is considered
a violation of a 'must' directive of the debian policy, which carries a
'serious' severity for bug reports [1].

Debian policy [2] states:
"the packages in main must not require or recommend a package outside of
main for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a
Pre-Depends, Depends, Recommends, Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, or
Build-Depends-Arch relationship on a non-main package unless that
package is only listed as a non-default alternative for a package in
main)"

Please review your package dependencies so that they are aligned with
the debian policy. Thanks.
