Please note that there is a Python package name conflict for this package:

https://github.com/spacetelescope/pyasdf/issues/186

There was agreement between the two parties, but no action yet to resolve that Python package name conflict.

Ole, maybe you could comment there and encourage them to resolve that issue,

or at least let them know that packaging for Debian is ongoing?
