Before switching in sid I'd want to:
- be able to use the python3 version myself
- give extensions some time to figure out their own switch
- ideally not regress significant functionality; e.g. python-subversion
  is still not available for python3

I don't know what that means in terms of timeframe, it may or may not
happen in time for bullseye, but I'm also not in a rush and I'd rather
not break stuff by switching too early.

Cheers,
Julien
