Not to get confused with python-*-common and python-*-doc packages are for both python versions. It is possible that there might be python3 packages depending on python- packages simply because the required Python3 packages haven't been built yet (or upstream doesn't support Python3 yet). Can't think of a good example though. In most cases a python-* dependency will not be sufficient from a python3-* package. -- Brian May <br...@microcomaustralia.com.au>
