Not particularly, and I doubt most packages will need repacking.  I was just
thinking a link might be useful for folks landing on the LibraryStyleGuide
page, but I don't feel strongly about it.

The only reason I suggested Jessie+1 was because the official call for release
goal deadline was Sept 30, which we've obviously passed.  However, as you and
I discussed off-line, the more modest goal of having only Python 3 in the
minimal install is achievable and probably doesn't require an official release
goal.  So let's JFDI! :)

(Jessie+1 will be a good timeframe to discuss larger Python 2 minimization
goals, even if we know we can't ever completely it.)
