Package: src:ffc
Version: 2019.1.0.post0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

This package uses python pip to download and install packages from outside the
Debian archive to run autopkgtests.  Main is required to be self-contained,
including for tests.  See the FTP Master's reject FAQ [1] item Non-Main II.

An excerpt from a recent autpkgtest log is included below to demonstrate the
issue with this package.
