MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python2-scons [2] into scons2
[3]:

python2-scons is long broken and unmaintained, whereas scons2 is well
taken care of.

Also this is a CLI application, and the Python naming guidelines
suggest not to have the 'python(2)-' prefix.

In both packages, the name of the executable is changed from scons to
scons2, as per established pattern coming from repo's maintainers when
Arch repos still carried many Python2 CLI applications alongside their
Python3 counterparts.

The scons2 package already declares the virtual provides
'python2-scons', so all consumers of the latter will properly be able
to find the scons2 dependency.
