Dear maintainer, Please let the package depend on a specific, tested, python version (3.11 for now) instead of the generic python3 package. Python is infamously known for breaking backward compatibility on every occasion they get. For a critical package like ifupdown2, this random breakage is not acceptable. Depending on a specific pyhton verion should alleviate this problem a little bit. -- mvg, Alex Hermann
