Well in my case the main motivation was security (i.e. only using
code) that has security support by Debian.
But shouldn't that use case also be interesting for Debian
Maintainers? Whenever their pip would need to download something from
PyPI, it would mean that some dependency is likely not fulfilled in
Debian (unless of course that Debian package is simply not installed).
