I have been assessing the situation on my end, and assuming reportlab can be used without renderpm, I think that this is a probably a bug on python3-biopython control information. As far as I could see, the test suite can run either with both packages, or none of them, so demoting python3-reportlab to Suggests, same as python3-renderpm, could also do the trick. That being said the issue would also be at risk to propagate to users of biopython if python3-reportlab is installed without python3-renderpm on their hosts. Thus, bumping python3-renderpm to Depends sounds to me to be the most appropriate approach as well.
