Hi Sylvestre and Matthias, Matthias and/or Scott, please see below and comment, I might have found a way to slightly speed up Python 2 removal.

Yup, it builds fine! :-) Also, I just checked to make sure it runs
properly, and found that the py3 variant depends on python3-lib2to3 (not
sure why that wasn't autodetected)
I've fixed py-autopep8-el in git, but someone else need to update
vim-autopep8. Then we should coordinate to all upload on the same day,
to minimise breakage. IMHO there is no need to stage this change in
experimental, because there are only three affected packages, including
this one.
It would also be nice to see the following three issues fixed for the
next upload, but of course I'll understand if you're too busy, and none
of them are RC:
1. Add autopkgtests
2. Switch to debhelper-compat 12 (should be safe, but it's always a good
idea to diffoscope the results)
3. Fix the bad header in the manpage generated with help2man. Ideally
it'd be nice to solve this with Sphinx, rst2man, or some other method.

No problem, any time!
Cheers,
Nicholas
