Debian bullseye is required to be self-hosting, that is, everything within 
main can be compiled using just the things in main. Any effort to rebuild 
bullseye would currently fail because there would be no Python 2 module for 
cherrypy3 available.

While python-cherrypy3 should not yet have been dropped, the reality is that 
it has been. This bug is RC just like any other bug about depending on 
packages that no longer exist. (I have double checked this with #debian-
release btw.)

Trying to drop Python 2 is going to be a messy process and we're going to see 
a lot of bugs like these, with packages being dropped from testing and then 
coming back when they are ported.
