Based purely on the fact that the current version of ipaddr is
undocumented, I would strongly be against any patch to packaged
software that causes a dependency on it for the sole purpose of
Debian's packaging of that software. You're asking the maintainers of
those packages to maintain patches for things that are undocumented.
In my opinion, Scott, if your'e so adamant about not packaging
ipaddress for Python 2, you should work with ipaddr to fix things so
maintainers can reliably maintain the software. Until that is fixed, I
think Tristan's packaging should move forward so Debian doesn't fall
too far behind pip.
