After installing python3-livereload importing the module livereload
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/livereload/__init__.py", line 15, in 
<module>
    from .server import Server, shell
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/livereload/server.py", line 26, in 
<module>
    from .handlers import LiveReloadHandler, LiveReloadJSHandler
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/livereload/handlers.py", line 15, in 
<module>
    from pkg_resources import resource_string
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
