I don't understand why qrcode needs Literal from typing_extensions. Seems like a needless dependency. Maybe this can be fixed upstream.

It probably is useless but until upstream fixes this I'm adding it to the packaging. Please do report this and suggest it might not be necessary, and feel free to open a bug if the dependency goes a way and we miss it.
