Hello,
I am a Python developer and upstream maintainer.
I am not much experience when it comes to distro packaging.
This is just an example of a case I often do observe. And I always ask
myself why this happens.

the new version of python-cogent needs python-loky[1]
I checked both package and do not understand why python-loky exist. It
is a mini package with less benefit. Why does Debian burn resources in
packaging things like this. I would ask python-cogent to remove that
dependency instead of create a package for it. As upstream maintainer I
would not dare to have dependencies like this in my project and bother
distro maintainers with it.
I am assuming this package will be orphaned in the near future.
I am asking the upstream maintainer for a justification about this
dependency:
