Bug#917037: ITP: python3-zeroconf -- Pure Python implementation of multicast DNS service discovery (Python3)

Feels wrong to me to add a new source package, when reason is that the 
current/old source package is abandoned upstream!

A quick look seems to indicate these two reverse dependencies:

* pulseaudio-dlna
* python-pychromecast

Neither of those seem to have a bugreport warning that python-zeroconf 
is unmaintained upstream.  They seem to both a) have no reverse 
dependencies themselves, and b) having similar features as 
python3-pychromecast which uses python3-zeroconf.

It seems best to me to try get those few packages to either use a 
maintained library or maybe avoid shipping them with Buster.

Could you please file bugreports appropriately?
