Package: python3-venv
Version: 3.6.5-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

the manpage for the module states:
>       pyvenv-3.3 - create virtual python environments

However, currently, it can't do that because of this:

> The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
> available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
> package using the following command.
>
>     apt-get install python3-venv
>
> You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
> package, recreate your virtual environment.

But the issue is tagged as wontfix here: #816740

This means that the package is and will forever be totally useless, since it is
meant to create virtual environments and it cannot do so.

So please just drop it from archive, because there is no point in it existing.

Best
