Package: python3.6
Version: 3.6.5~rc1-1
Severity: wishlist

The various python3 packages (python3, python3.6) all have the venv package as 
a suggests. Given how this is part of the standard library and a generally 
expected tool in a Python 3 installation, it would be nice to bump this up to a 
recommends so that it will normally be installed along with Python. It's also 
possible that the package should get renamed as it doesn't actually contain 
venv at all, it contains ensurepip (which venv can work without). The -minimal 
packages would still be available for anyone that wants to avoid installing 
ensurepip. Would be a nice UX win to have `apt install python3` provide the 
standard tooling.
