Bug#736523: Indeed, python-concurrent.futures is the same
Sorry, what? and you didn't think to contact me first to almost
rewrite the package? If there's problems, open bugs. Revert your
changes or I'll do at the first occasion. and mainly, why don't you go
away from DPMT once and for all? you're doing more harm than good
here. you're not welcome here.
