[Python-modules-team] Bug#814622: (no subject)

The reversion of 2.8.7-2 is not correct.  It breaks the DEP-8 tests in Ubuntu
where there is only Python 3.5 (and will break Debian as soon as Python 3.4 is
dropped).

By reverting this, you find that there is no Python 3 module in python3-pytest
and `python3.5 -m pytest` fails.  Please restore the change from 2.8.7-2 and
find another way to fix the problem.

Personally, I don't think we should have any Python version specific /usr/bin
scripts, but I suppose we need /usr/bin/py.test and /usr/bin/py.test-3 for
backward compatibility.  Better that people get in the habit of invoking such
tools via -m.
