Update 1: thanks to Andrew I realized that #866477 wasn't rightfully
release critical and brought it back to normal (so the package shouldn't
get autoremoved.
Update 2: upstream is currently working, apparently on tests
https://github.com/rst2pdf/rst2pdf/commits/master and they seem to have
a release planned https://github.com/rst2pdf/rst2pdf/milestones
so maybe the only thing that is needed is to ping them a bit on python3
support https://github.com/rst2pdf/rst2pdf/issues/537 where activity
seems stalled (and it's not in any release milestone).
I believe that having working automated tests is considered necessary
for the port, but I don't know what's the current status of them.
