I've successfully built and tested 5.2.0 (ussuri) and 5.8.0 (yoga) versions of python3-openstackclient _without_ the `pyperclip==1.5.27` dependency, and run a full battery of openstack CLI tests, with and without $DISPLAY being set (ssh -Y <host> vs. not), and all worked perfectly without incident.

Since the clipboard is managed by the terminal of choice (iTerm/Terminal/Termius on macOS, PuTTY on Windows, xterm/rxvt/term on Linux), there is no reason for the _remote_ CLI tools to contain any clipboard sharing capabilities, such as those provided by `pyperclip`. Removing this Python dependency is a no-op to the function of the openstack client tools.

This is an easy, 1-line PR. I'll see if I can push this upstream and encourage our internal repackaging of the same to mitigate this issue on Ubuntu.
