Python 2 might become end-of-life next year,
but Debian buster does fully (security) support
Python 2 in buster until the EOL of buster mid-2022.

Note that most of the software in a stable Debian release is no
longer upstream supported during the lifetime of a Debian release.
Does yapf upstream support 0.25 until mid-2022? Chances are
yapf 0.25 might be as unsupported as Python 2.7 in 2022.

This is only a problem when not-backportable security fixes
are expected.

The unnecessary removal of Python 2 support in yapf did break
the build dependencies of other packages in buster.
