Excluding the archive and the .svn directories from the search, it goes down

remove reference to P2, when it is an optional dependency (even if it cannot
be replaced with P3)?
I've made a small xsl stylesheet to extract python2 dependencies. Here is the
list: package plus dependency type. The stylesheet did not do well with python
modules, but I think it is not that important.
I think you are looking at an old version of the book, maybe 8.3 ?
e.g.
----------------------------
Package: nodejs-9.11.2
required
----------------------------
----------------------------
Package: HarfBuzz-1.8.8
optional
----------------------------
However, I suspect that the packages using 2.7 are probably the same.
And I'm somewhat reluctant, for the moment, to stop mentioning 2.7
where it is optional. But to move building 2.7 modules to optional,
or even to remove/comment the instructions (unless they are thought
to be required) seems fine.
If all the references to P2 were optional, I'd have no problem making
that an external reference, but we are not there yet.
As for the P2 modules, it's not clear to me whether or not any are
required (or optional).
