there are still many Debian developers that will do their best to
make sure /usr/bin/python points to /usr/bin/python2.7 at least until
2025 or so (assuming we'll still have this package in the archive after
2020)

That said, we'll do our best to remove this package from most/all
installations.


Hi, BTW. I'm lurking here since a while :)
