The python2 dependency on gconf2 binary package is due to the fact that migrations scripts are using #!/usr/bin/env python, which is what was adviced by the ubuntu python maintainers so that the day default python is changing, we'll get the correct default version.
dh_python3 is then, adding this python2 dependency. It means that day python3 is the default, a simple package rebuild will be needed. Considering back this bug as "fix released" as nothing has to be done in gconf itself. ** Changed in: gconf (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440549 Title: please convert python scripts to python3 Status in gconf package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: There is still the goal to remove Python2 from the desktop images, and to use Python3 only.
