Bug Description
The z3c.rml package depends on the PyPdf module, provided by the python-pypdf package. This package is obsolete and removed from Debian unstable; and I've also just removed it from zesty. This makes python-z3c.rml uninstallable.
I was going to fix z3c.rml up thinking it would be a quick fix, but:
- the module name has changed, someone will need to check that s/PyPdf/PyPdf2/ is enough to let the code work.
- z3c.rml relies on van.pydeb for generating its binary dependency list, so that would also need updated to know about PyPdf2.
You could also just hard-code the dependency in debian/control instead of relying on van.pydeb's behavior.
This is an Ubuntu-specific package that hasn't been updated in 4 years, so it's possible it should be removed rather than being fixed. But it's used by schooltool, so someone would need to look at that first.

Since no one has shown interest in resolving this bug, I will work through removals of the schooltool packages.
