[Python-modules-team] Bug#741046: python-pdfminer: Please package latest upstream

[Daniele Tricoli]

[Adding Stefano Rivera since he already reviewed the package: I'm sure that
with the git migration and all other stuff he simply forgot this upload. :)] 

Hello Gianfranco,
thanks for the ping!

The package is now on git[¹] and it builds twice in a row inside a pbuilder 
chroot.
It seems to be lintian clean except for:
P: pdfminer source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature
X: python-pdfminer: library-package-name-for-application usr/bin/dumppdf 
usr/bin/latin2ascii usr/bin/pdf2txt
X: python-pdfminer: application-in-library-section python usr/bin/dumppdf 
usr/bin/latin2ascii usr/bin/pdf2txt

But I will simply ignore experimental tags for now: I did not use a lintian 
override.

Right now the package does not use pybuild, my original plan was to switch to 
it after this upload. This because I tested switching to pybuild but there 
were several paths to change, so I thought to postpone the switch.

I don't think Stefano will be disappointed if you sponsor pdfminer, so thanks 
if you can look at it and sponsor me.

Kind regards,
