Hi

There is currently a debate within Debian Python about dropping Python2
altogether.  While this is not going to happen for the next release, it
will likely happen for the following release, and there is a strong
reluctance to adding any new python2 packages.
All our work is going into the transition to Python3.

So, What packages currently need / want python2-xarray ? Can we help in
porting?
