I'm currently in the process of resyncing the libpeas stack in Debian back to Yakkety. It's slow going because the python2/3 loader issue isn't the only delta from Debian in these packages. I'm not currently planning on SRUing all of this back into Xenial, and I'm not even sure such SRUs would be acceptable. Let's try to DTRT in Yakkety and figure out the minimal amount of work needed to fix whatever's broken in Xenial. But let's do the latter in response to actual bug reports from users. Since roger-router doesn't ship any Python code itself, I don't think it should Depends on libpeas-1.0-python2loader. Given that your follow up to Jan-Michael asks about the existence of Python 2 plugins for roger, it seems premature to add that Suggests to roger, and I totally agree about encouraging the port of any such third party plugins to Python 3. Note that any plugins which exist in the archive should themselves Depend on libpeas-1.0-python2loader if they are Python 2. (For Xenial, they'd have to add a Depends on libpeas-1.0-python3loader if they were Python 3, but for Debian and Yakkety, they would just Depends on libpeas since they get the Python 3 loader for free now.) Any third-party plugins not in the archive will have to apt install the Python 2 loader itself. Does that sound right and good to you?
