Dear Bryan,

When I first packaged mailman3 parts into Debian, I chose mailman3-core
(source & binary name) for the server and with Jonas, we chose mailman-
suite (source & binary name) for the web package providing the django
settings to provide hyperkitty and postorius.

We realized quickly that users were confused by this naming convention.
They were expecting the server to be mailman3. We chose to rename the
source & binary package from mailman3-core to mailman3, hence the
disappearance of mailman3-core.

Theoretically, mailman3 binary package doesn't depend on python2, but
mailman3-full binary package depends on mailman3-web and thus on
postorius and hyperkitty and django-mailman3 which are python2 packages.

Upstream did release alpha versions of postorius/hyperkitty/django-
mailman3 1.2.0, which are full python3 (with dropping of python2
support). As soon as these release are stable, they'll be packaged into
debian, and should hence come in ubuntu soon after (thanks to
transition).

Cheers.
