[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1042869: sniffles: Please update to newer version without python3-pep517 requirement

Source: sniffles
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: important

Currently sniffles build-depends on python3-pep517.  This package has
been replaced upstream by python3-pyproject-hooks, which is now in
Debian.  As a result, python3-pep517 will be removed soon.

There appears to be a newer version of sniffles that does not use
python3-pep517 (I did not check if the current version acutally requires
it of the the build-depend is unneeded).  Please upgrade to the newer
version or otherwise remove the build-depends on python3-pep517.

Once I file the rm bug for it, I'll increase this to serious, so please
address it now.

Thanks,

Scott K
