Hi all,

any progress on this?

It is almost a year.

Everytime I install a Debian using debootstrap or live-build, I need to later 
remove python2

root@debian:~# apt purge  python2.7-minimal 
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libpython2-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib libre2-8 
libstd-rust-1.47
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  python-is-python2* python2* python2-minimal* python2.7* python2.7-minimal*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 59 not upgraded.
After this operation, 4,348 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

There are no reverse dependencies.


Setting priority to optional in overrides for sid and bullseye / testing,
would be appreciated.
