Bug#896310: python-tf-conversions: tf_conversions fails to import

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: python-tf-conversions
Version: 1.11.9-1+b1
Severity: serious
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: python-import

After installing python-tf-conversions importing the module tf_conversions
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tf_conversions/__init__.py", line 28, in <module>
    from posemath import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tf_conversions/posemath.py", line 29, in <module>
    from tf import transformations
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tf/__init__.py", line 28, in <module>
    from tf2_ros import TransformException as Exception, ConnectivityException, LookupException, ExtrapolationException
ImportError: No module named tf2_ros

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.
