I don't think alternatives are the solution to this. tor-prompt as provided
by python-stem or by python3-stem should be strictly equilavent in terms
of features. I can't imagine why would someone prefer to use the
Python 2 version when someone else would prefer the Python 3 one.

I think either tor-prompt should be moved to its own package, or only
kept in python3-stem (because Python 2 will have to go away one day). We
can make python-stem Depends on python3-stem to make sure that
tor-prompty will continue to be there on upgrade.
