Dear Maintainer,

Elpa-pyvenv package shouldn't hard depend on virtualenv package, which
also pulls-in python3-virtualenv package.  The latter package "seems to
be" (to my novice eye, please correct me if I am wrong) mostly
superseded by python3-venv package, which is python3's "built-in" way of
creating and managing virtualenvs.

If elpa-pyvenv drops its hard dependance on virtualenv, my debian system
will be freed of following two packages:

- virtualenv
- python3-virtualenv

since, I already have python3-venv installed.

Here's a message from elpa-pyvenv's github issue thread that signals it
shoudln't "hard depend" on virtualenv, and that it should already work
with virtual environments that are created using python3-venv:
