Oh!  I had not realised.  I didn't see an ITP for this package, and so
I went ahead and did it myself.  So yes, let's delete or archive the
duplicate repos for this and ppft; would you be able to do that?

Now I'm just waiting on upgrades to python3-multiprocessing and
python3-dill before I can upload a source-only version of these new
packages.

Best wishes,
