Title:
  /usr/sbin/sss_obfuscate fails to run: ImportError: No module named
  pysss

Status in sssd source package in Bionic:
  In Progress
Status in sssd source package in Eoan:

Status in sssd package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [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
