I didn't receive an email for this bug, even though I'm subscribed to the team mailing list listed as the maintainer, and I believe being purposefully cut out of the loop like this will provoke drama with other maintainers. There have already been a few such threads (eg: didn't receive a notification until my package was removed from unstable). Best to avoid having people feel like they're being manipulated and/or covertly bullied, I think.

I will hope for Calibre's upstream success in the 2to3 migration. BTW, it sounds like Python 3 is planned for installtion to /usr/bin/python. Is that the case? Cheers, Nicholas
