"Since python2.7 is the last python2 version and the only supported
version in wheezy and later releases, a common location to
share arch-independent files across Python versions is
no longer needed."

Why do you think so?  For mpmath, as an example - both py2 and py3
versions use same codebase.  Same for the python-sympy, ipython and so on.
We have need to share such code, isn't?  I see a lot of python packages
with "Package foo shares 12.3 MB of similar files with package
foo3, please investigate whether it is possible to reduce the
duplication." warning.
