I am appending the following two sections to the python policy chapter 2,
documenting what currently is in testing. There are different opinions, no
perfect solutions, and if we disagree, we should delegate the final decision
whether to include or to not include the binary packages

FWIW and IMHO that's a reasonable compromise.

Sometimes breaking things can be helpful. If someone is not aware that
something still requires Python 2.x,
FTR: I didn't change my mind. /usr/bin/python is still used outside
Debian packages, in /usr/local/bin scripts and applications and I
strongly disagree to touch it.

Hi,
Another solution would be to simply use the update-alternatives system
to manage /usr/bin/python. python3 would have a higher priority than
python2. Users would still have the possibility to switch
/usr/bin/python to python2 explicitly if they require it...

command in the long term. Some people argue that python should neve
