package autojump tag 671452 moreinfo thanks William Ting, 2012-05-03 21:57-1000: > The package maintainer added a patch to prioritize Python 3: > > patches/use-python3.patch > -#!/usr/bin/env python > +#!/usr/bin/env python3
Yes I did, and the explanation is given in the patch header [1]:
Python 3 supports both Python 2 and Python 3's serialization formats, so
it is more flexible to run autojump with Python 3.

Could you explain what you mean by “reverting back to Python 2” on a
Debian system?

Which is no problem at all since Python 2 and Python 3 can very well
cohabit on a Debian system.

I do no see any incompatibility of the current package with Python 2 or
Python 3. If there is, you can explain them to me: I shall need the
complete error message and the detailed steps to reproduce it on a
Debian testing or unstable system.
