[Python-modules-team] Bug#762186: python-pypdf: Unexpectedly breaks existing programs on update

Package: python-pypdf
Version: 1.23-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

updating python-pypdf from 1.13 to 1.23 breaks every existing script 
that use this module with an ImportError: No module named pyPdf.

Changing pyPdf to PyPDF2 everywhere in the scripts allows to use 
the new version, but in the update there was no hint that this 
change was needed.

Expecially if this happens during an update between stable versions 
this will break existing deployments of custom programs, causing 
lots of pain.

Thanks in advance
