--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Hi, I just installed Debian using daily amd64 netinst iso (2020-01-21 iso), and after I selected mostly minimal amount of stuff (plus popcon, unatannteded-upgrades, and ssh server and standard utilities), I rebooted, and checked the python2 packages. I did spot that python2.7 and python (2) packages were installed. I just done apt-get purge {,lib}{python,python2.7}{,-minimal,-stdlib} and nothing else was removed. Just python2. There is nothing in the minimal system that depends on it. Removal was successfull. $ python bash: python: command not found $ Good! python3 works fine. System looks to be working perfectly fine. So the debian-installer, or debootstrap, or whatever is installing python (2), should stop doing it. If some later package requires is as a dependency, sure apt will install it, but by default it is unecassary dependency. If there is some package or script that implicitly depends on Python2, well so bad. It is better to simply remove this implicit dependency, and by removing default installation of python2, it would be way easier to actually find any such scripts, if any.
