The use of libunique is non-consequential here. The issue is that the gtk-doc package has imports which are not going to be present via direct runtime dependencies. Any sw which attempts to run the python scripts found in gtk-doc will fail in the same way unless the python3-six is installed via an indirect dependency. I didn't have a chance to dig in to this deeper today so I don't have more to add than this but the "import six" is pretty explicit and will fail unless this script is not meant to actually be run anytime, anywhere.
