Package: rst2pdf
Version: 0.16-1.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

rst2pdf contains a copy of the pdfrw library[0], which both the Debian
Policy (4.13) and the security team dislike (for good reasons, if you
ask me). I discovered this since I, as part of a team, intend to
package mat[1], which also uses pdfrw.

Chris, do you want to package pdfrw separately?
