I just noted that the current version of patchutils depends on python3, it was
not the case some versions ago:

This is unexpected, and currently not the case for most Linux, distributions,
see for example
https://packages.debian.org/sid/patchutils
Could it be that the dependency has been added by accident?
Features and scripts change every release, depending on the developer's
interests and user feedback; most distros are back-version; most of the programs
are scripts: 2 python, 4 perl, 6 shell, 3 console, and 5 symlinks.
See:
https://repology.org/project/patchutils/badges
for distro versions still providing some supported package updates or backports.
