Public bug reported:

[Availability]
Available in Ubuntu Focal.

[Rationale]
python-secretstorage, which is in main because it's a dependency of 
python-keyring, has been using dbus-python for a long time. However, as 
dbus-python's README says, it “might not be the best D-Bus binding for you to 
use”:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-python/blob/dbus-python-1.2.16/README#L13

Also, the Freedesktop wiki lists dbus-python among “Obsolete libraries”:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings/#obsoletelibraries

So the new release of secretstorage is now using jeepney, a lightweight
pure Python D-Bus implementation instead of dbus-python (which was
written in C).

[Security]
No security history.

[Quality assurance]
Upstream has a test suite, and it is being run during package build:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/459048962/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.jeepney_0.4.2-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

[Dependencies]
Depends: python3:any
Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12), dh-python, python3-all, python3-pytest, 
python3-sphinx, python3-sphinx-rtd-theme, python3-testpath

[Standards compliance]
Standards-Version: 4.4.1

[Maintenance]
Maintained by me under the umbrella of Debian Python modules team.

Maintenance is very simple, debian/rules is just 18 lines.
