Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to install ranger in my Debian sid installation. The ranger
package pulled in python3.8 for me -- which was very unexpected since I
already had the default python3 (3.9.0-3) installed in my system.

As a pure python module, ranger claims that any python version >=3.1 (or
even >= 2.6 if that still matters) should be compatible with it on its
homepage. I don't see any dependency for python3.8 here, so I suggest
applying the following change to the package metadata:

--- i/DEBIAN/control
+++ w/DEBIAN/control
@@ -6 +6 @@
-Depends: sensible-utils, python3.8:any, python3:any
+Depends: sensible-utils, python3:any (>= 3.1~)
