Thanks Till, for the detailed analysis in comment #3!

IMO src:hplip should be adopted accordingly, to avoid those new MIR
dependencies, as they don't seem to be necessary. Especially, as we're
moving to a CUPS snap based stack eventually.

What do Desktop people think about that?

We might want to be a bit more selective in
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-
seeds/+git/platform/tree/desktop-common#n69 instead of just seeding all
of hplip.

Title:
  [MIR] python-rlpycairo

Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently
  owned by Foundations).

  The only consumer of python-reportlab is hplip (owned by Desktop),
  apparently it needs it for scanning: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651240

  $ reverse-depends src:python-reportlab -c main -r mantic
  Reverse-Depends
  ===============
  * hplip                         (for python3-reportlab)

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x

  src:hplip -> src:python-reportlab -> src:python-rlpycairo ->
  src:freetype-py & src:ttf-bitstream-vera

  So from the above, it sounds like this new dependency is actually
  needed (after the reportlab package dropped its renderpm extension).
  It should be discussed between Foundations and Desktop who's owning
  those dependencies and doing the MIRs for python-rlpycairo, freetype-
  py and ttf-bitstream-vera
