Package: awscli
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Amazon recommands to upgrade to V2, and my S3 service provider requires a v2. 
That leads me to investigate a bit around V2 and its absence on Debian (even in 
SID).
I’ve seen that amazon change their orientation 
(https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947) making python hidden.
The tracker page points to the upstream new version 1.18.107 
(https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/awscli) that's the last of the v1 branch but 
the v2 branch offers many newer versions, at writing time the latest is 2.0.35 
(https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/blob/v2/CHANGELOG.rst). If the package awscli 
will « specialized » on V1 branch it would be a plus to state it explicitly in 
the package description.

Installation the amazon way is easy but probably not in line with the idea of 
Debian packaging system. So my question is : what are the plan for AWS CLI V2 
on Debian ?
