If all Python2 packages will use /usr/bin/python2 and all Python3 packages will use /usr/bin/python3, then /usr/bin/python can be managed by update-alternatives. And because we really want all Python2 packages to use /usr/bin/python2, I think this is a viable option. But TBH I don't think it's a good idea, because it can be confusing for users. -- Best regards Ondřej Nový

Sometimes breaking things can be helpful. If someone is not aware that something still requires Python 2.x, having that script start failing can often be helpful. As long as Debian provides a way to make /usr/bin/python point to 2.x, I think this kind of breakage will be useful since it makes it clear that the user is relying on totally unmaintained software. Arch has been using /usr/bin/python for Python 3.x for a while now. .hc

Please consider sponsoring the package. The last upload is almost four years ago and it is RC-buggy for 11 months. There are people who depend on the package, so it would be great to have it back in Debian again.

They are broken because they expect an interpreter which we don't support anymore. So they MUST break. Leaving the distro half-upgraded with the feeling that things are continuing to work is a horrible design. During the upgrade to bullseye, please do remove all things Python2, including the interpreter, unless explicitly requested by the user (if that's possible). If a user feels like he must install Python2, it must be a manual decision (maybe after the upgrade and using /usr/local ?). Otherwise, there's still Buster around for the next 4 years to come...
