So far for python-ipaddress (for python 2), that's two packages.  Here's the 
reverse depends/build-depends for python-ipaddr in sid:

Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep
===========================
* python-wsme

Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* ganeti
* ooniprobe
* rtslib
* txtorcon

root@kitterma-E6430:/# reverse-depends python-ipaddr
Reverse-Depends
===============
* automx
* bley
* blockfinder
* criu [amd64 armhf]
* ganeti-2.12 [amd64 arm64 armel armhf hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-
i386 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el s390x]
* hash-slinger
* isso
* ooniprobe
* python-rtslib
* python-spf
* python-txtorcon
* python-wsme
* tcos-core [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el s390x 
sparc]
* tcosmonitor-common
* virt-manager
* web2ldap

I was considering the idea of porting things from ipaddr to ipaddress for 
python2, but there's a lot more of that then there is for ipaddress (which is 
up to only two packages we know about).

I don't think we want the duplication in Debian and so pip ought to be patched 
to use ipaddr.
