As far as I understand it, pycryptodome *can* be a drop-in replacement
usually, but not currently in Debian since it doesn't install in Crypto
but Cryptodomex namespace (#886291).

Are there any plan to change it when python3-crypto is removed or before ?

Of course, we can patch onionshare to import cryptodomex, but that patch
would be debian-only then… Upstream already expect pycryptodome as
Crypto module.

Take care,
