Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.30
Severity: normal

I have certbot explicitly installed, which depends on python3-certbot, on
python3-cryptography, which depends on (virtual?) packages
python3-cffi-backend-api-min (<= 9729),
python3-cffi-backend-api-max (>= 9729).

Runing deborpha --guess-python suggests uninstalling python3-cffi-backend,
which would force certbot to be removed, which is clearly not desirable.

I'm guessing from context that this is a problem with virtual packages like
this?
