Here at UC Berkeley, it seems that far more people use the Anaconda distribution system,than any Debian python packaging. The Mac OS is perhaps more than fifty percentof serious science users, by casual observation, and the pain and dysfunction of the Windows ecosystem continues to drive many decisions about packages. Python programming is meant to be portable, and it is. That is a substantial portion of the benefitof choosing python.I do not believe that the Debian python packaging policies have much effect on scientific programmers here, whichever OS they use. --Brian

The Debian Python Policy also documents the use of Python 3 for programs when they support it, and recommend to not package them for Python 2. Libraries should always be packaged for Python 3, and when applications only support Python 2 should the library be packaged for Python 2 as well. https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python3.html With QGIS 3 switching to Python 3, adoption in the geospatial ecosystem will be pushed forward too.
