I agree. It's unreasonable to block this removal further. fretsonfire
is not a standalone package, but a part of a long chain of packages
affected by the Py2 removal and this can't wait longer.

If anyone ports it to Py3 until Bullseye freeze, even better. Failing
that, it's still available on Flathub for every future Debian user:
