We do 1) in RPF Raspbian. I think this is the correct approach.

Bug#919617: python-gpiozero file conflict with python3-gpiozero

[Peter Green]

Package: python-gpiozero
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: serious

The 1.4.1-1 upload of gpiozero added the "pinout" utility, unfortunately it 
added it to both the python-gpiozero and python3-gpiozero packages. The result is a file 
conflict between the two packages.

I see two possible solutions.

1. Drop the utility from one of the packages, if going down this road I would 
probablly drop it from the python-gpiozero package since python 2 is deprecated.
2. Install the utility with a different name or path in each package and then 
use the alternatives mechanism to select between them.
