[Pkg-matrix-maintainers] Bug#1017008: matrix-synapse: Incorrect version in python3-canonicaljson dependency

[Mikko Rasa]

Package: matrix-synapse
Version: 1.64.0-2
Severity: minor

After upgrade to synapse 1.64.0, the service failed to restart with no
visible error message.  Manually trying to launch synapse printed this:

ERROR:root:Synapse 1.64.0 needs canonicaljson<2.0.0,>=1.5.0, but got canonicaljson==1.4.0
Missing Requirements: "canonicaljson"
To install run:
    pip install --upgrade --force "canonicaljson"

However the package dependency still says python3-canonicaljson (>= 1.4.0).

Hitting this issue requires doing an isolated upgrade of synapse, so
probably quite rare, but still I think the dependency should be corrected.
