In fact, looking at #906000 again, I'm not sure that's the right
solution either. To quote that bug report:

If we remove the Python dependency, we reopen that bug. I'm not sure
what the implications of that are.
Bug #883146 tracks bzrlib python3 support. Upstream has released "3.0
pelican" that ports to py3, but that hasn't landed in Debian
yet. There's also #883145 which explicitely requests etckeeper to be
ported to python3.
So this bug feels a little like a duplicate of the latter, and a little
out of my control.
