No.

#933348 is another bug for removed packages (mopidy-scrobler). Do you really 
want to keep that?  Is the mopidy popcon really enough to keep it?  Don't look 
at the popcon of any python module. The relevant popocon is the one for the 
application.

No, this is not yet done. Pending a dh-python upload.
