After installing python3-matplotlib-venn importing the module matplotlib_venn
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib_venn/__init__.py", line 55, in <module>

    return _import_module(self.mod)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six.py", line 82, in _import_module
    __import__(name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
