[Impact]

Current bionic d/control doesn't include "python3-sss" or "python-sss"
as runtime dependency:

Package: sssd-tools
Architecture: any
Depends:
 python,
 sssd-common (= ${binary:Version}),
 ${misc:Depends},
 ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: System Security Services Daemon -- tools
 Provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and
 authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward
 the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple different
 account sources. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy
 services for projects like FreeIPA.

Current workaround:
One can install the dependency by hand.

[Test Case]

# lsb_release -cs
bionic

# Install sssd-tools

# sss_obfuscate
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/sss_obfuscate", line 8, in <module>
    import pysss
ImportError: No module named pysss

[Potential Regression]

After adding the dependency, if one run let's say 'apt-get upgrade':

APT-GET(8) - upgrade:
under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed.

Meaning that one who would go that route, may not be able to get the
update and will continue to experience the problem (No module named
pysss)

APT-GET(8) - dist-upgrade:
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages
