It is already available no ? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pooch
Maybe the best is to contact the maintainer and update the package if it is not up to date.

Trying to add sample datasets to your Python package? Pooch is here to help! . Pooch is a Python library that can manage data by downloading files from a server (only when needed) and storing them locally in a data cache (a folder on your computer). . - Pure Python and minimal dependencies. - Download files over HTTP, FTP, and from data repositories like Zenodo and figshare. - Built-in post-processors to unzip/decompress the data after download. - Designed to be extended: create custom downloaders and post-processors. . Are you a scientist or researcher? Pooch can help you too! . - Host your data on a repository and download using the DOI. - Automatically download data using code instead of telling colleagues to do it themselves. - Make sure everyone running the code has the same version of the data files. . This package installs the library for Python 3. This package is a dependency for python-librosa which I uploaded recently. I aim to maintain this package under python-team's umbrella, at https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-pooch
