Public bug reported:

The z3c.rml package depends on the PyPdf module, provided by the python-
pypdf package.  This package is obsolete and removed from Debian
unstable; and I've also just removed it from zesty.  This makes python-
z3c.rml uninstallable.

I was going to fix z3c.rml up thinking it would be a quick fix, but:

 - the module name has changed, someone will need to check that s/PyPdf/PyPdf2/ 
is enough to let the code work.
 - z3c.rml relies on van.pydeb for generating its binary dependency list, so 
that would also need updated to know about PyPdf2.

You could also just hard-code the dependency in debian/control instead
of relying on van.pydeb's behavior.

This is an Ubuntu-specific package that hasn't been updated in 4 years,
so it's possible it should be removed rather than being fixed.  But it's
used by schooltool, so someone would need to look at that first.
