** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * python-ldap & python3-ldap used to share documentation which resulted in 
python3-ldap package depending on python-ldap
+  * However whilst that used to be harmless, it no longer is, due to perceived 
risks of pulling in unused interpreter.
+  * Solution is to stop linking docs directory cross-packages like it is done 
in the later releases
+  * As a minimal sru, auxiliary and api documentation will remain shipped in 
python-ldap package with -doc subpackage not being introduced.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Install python3-ldap from release
+  * Observe that /usr/share/doc/python3-ldap is a symlink
+  * Upgrade to python3-ldap from proposed
+  * Observe that /usr/share/doc/python3-ldap is a directory
+  * Remove python-ldap python2.7-minimal
+  * Observe that python3-ldap is still installed
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * The changes introduced match those that are shipped in focal, sans
+ introduction of the docs package
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Original bug report
+

+ The package Package: python3-ldap (3.0.0-1) is dependent on
  Package: python-ldap (3.0.0-1).
  
  This has a dependency: python interactive high-level object-oriented language 
(default version)
  python (<< 2.8)
  python (>= 2.7~)
  
  see https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python-ldap
  
  We need Canonicals support for a backport the changes from
  https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3-ldap ,which resolves this
  python2 dependency.
  
  Many thanks in advance.
