Yes, of course: I was keeping an eye on all the needed packages.

Thanks for pointing this: for python-requests I will add to Recommends all of 
the needed packages to ensure that SNI works as expected and to prevent CRIME.

For python3-requests do you think it's needed to also add them to Reccomends?
Upstream issue 20994[¹] is still open, but Python3 support SNI, and ssl 
compression can be disabled, as reported on the issue, using OP_NO_COMPRESSION 
(on python3 >= 3.3, but we have 3.4). I think use Suggests is fine in this 
case.
I will add a README.Debian to explain clearly all of it.

Cheers,
