Please don't block fixing this python2 dependency of samba-libs on
fixing the other python2 issues in samba-common and samba-common-bin.
there are other packages (e.g. mpd) that Depend: samba-libs and do not
have this additional dependency.

Fixing the dependency of samba-libs on python-talloc in its own right
would be a win for minimal systems that run mpd but don't want to carry
around an unnecessary python interpreter.

Thanks for maintaining samba in debian!
