MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pynetfilter_conntrack [2]:

Orphaned package for a Python 2 module.
(Python 2 bindings for [core] libnetfilter_conntrack
and userspace cli tool for the same.)

The source was last updated in 2016 and
supports only Python 2.

This package's name is not ideal, should
have been prefixed with 'python2-'.

Nevertheless, there is nothing on AUR that would
depend on this package, and currently it cannot
be packaged because of an already deleted Python 2
based dependency.

I don't think this package is needed anymore or
worth keeping.

The upstream Netfilter project does provide native
userspace tools for the main library, in the form of
the conntrack-tools package (available in [extra]).

I think it's safe to say this Python 2 module
from 2016 is deprecated and obsolete.
