do you still plan to update this package? let me know if i can help
you in anyway

looking further into this, it turns out pisa has been totally
deprecated[1] in favor or xhtml2pdf[2] so i think the right way
forward is: a workaround to fix it for stretch, and package [2] and
get rid of pisa for buster
