Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal This package has been dead upstream for many years now (the final release was 1.17, in 2013). It's superceded by gmpy2, which is already packaged as python3-gmpy2. All reverse dependencies are currently removed from unstable as they don't support Python 3. Even if they weren't, the reverse dependencies can could all use gmpy2 if they are at some point patched to support Python 3 and added back into unstable:
$ apt-cache rdepends python-gmpy python-gmpy Reverse Depends: obfsproxy python-tlslite-ng python-sympy python-gmpy-doc obfsproxy and python-sympy support gmpy2 in source code, though the packaging doesn't depend on it. If these packages ever came back (by supporting Python 3), they could add a dependency on python3-gmpy2 instead. python-tlslite-ng does not support gmpy2, but it uses gmpy in a trivial way (uses 5 functions or so in a single location, with easy gmpy2 replacements). Thus it could be easily patched.
