A while back, I started a thread to discuss the license of python-debian on the now defunct pkg-python-debian-discuss list. [1]
Back then, dann frazier, Enrico Zini, Reinhard Tartler and Stuart Prescott all replied they were OK with a license change. There are still quite a few copyright holders and contributors that I need to reach out to!
I am trying to complete this now so here is my question:
If you are a copyright holder in python-debian, would you agree to a relicensing such that it can be used as a library for projects using a permissive, non-GPL license?
Well, from my point of view, something like: try: import gpl_code as lib except: import dummy_code as libmight be enough to use a GPL python module from a non GPL licensed code, without inheriting a new license in your code, but IANAL.

From my side, go ahead and do whatever license change needed for my contributed code. In fact, as long as I don't explicly add a license boiler plate in my contributed code I giving it to the project, and as such the project can decide what to do with it.
