Thank you for the reference. I looked in the removal log:

https://ftp-master.debian.org/removals-2020.txt

Here are the bugs closed when the package was removed:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=757125
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=938476
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=956489

Only the first one was directly related to the package itself. The others were 
related to Python 2 removal.

As part of repackaging this software, I have set up the packaging repository 
on Salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/pboddie/shedskin

The CI functionality is being used to run the test suite as part of the 
autopkgtest job in each invoked pipeline:

https://salsa.debian.org/pboddie/shedskin/-/pipelines

This suite takes over an hour to complete and is therefore not part of the 
normal package build process. For example:

https://salsa.debian.org/pboddie/shedskin/-/jobs/4671845

This should at least mitigate against the inadvertent breakage that occurred 
with bug #757125.

Regards,

Paul
