Feature #17507
Get printers deanonimisation neutralizing tool DEDA in Debian and then in Tails
Description
As suggested by pabs[1], this tool may be a good fit for Tails because it protects users from the tracking dots that some laser printers add to their prints, and can be traced to the serial number of the printers.
There is at least one situation in which these dots may have been used to identify a whisteblower and put her in jail.
The package is small but has some pip dependencies: ‘numpy’, ‘opencv-python’, ‘argparse’, ‘scipy’, ‘Pillow’, ‘PyPDF2’, ‘reportlab’, ‘eel’, ‘wand’
Here’s the application’s repo: https://github.com/dfd-tud/deda
I give this ticket low priority because nobody has said that will do it, but I open it in case that some Debian developers find it interesting to add to Debian.

Look good:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/numpy
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opencv
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/scipy
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pillow
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pypdf2
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/wand
Don’t look good:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/argparse → looks deprecated and is not in Debian
reportlab → not in Debian
eel → not in Debian

Given the clarification by Julien Voisin, this does not look like something that could be practically useful for Tails users.
Unless I got this wrong or someone disagrees, I would reject this issue.
