Source: pywws
Version: 25.10.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

pytz was once used & necessary to build this package,
bu upstream switch away from it in v22.3.0.

Please drop the extraneous python3-tz from d/control.


I've sent a PR upstream for more clean-up
https://github.com/jim-easterbrook/pywws/pull/127

Greetings

Alexandre
