Hi Matteo,
The timeline for removing python2 is "before bullseye." Because it will
take a long time, the effort has started now. We are starting with leaf
packages, of which presage is one, so that is why I've poked this bug. :)
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Someone approached me and volunteered to port presage to Python 3 in late
October, but I haven't heard back since them.
Let me take a look at what kind of an effort it would be to port to python
3: that would be my preferred option if I can find the time to do.
Else, the suggestion to remove the python pieces sound like the next best
thing, if I can't find the time to port to python 3 now, we can then later
reintroduce the python pieces.
What are the planned timelines for the python 2 removal?
Cheers,
- Matteo

Alternatively, perhaps just the Python pieces of presage can be removed,
as those don't seem to have any rdepends?
