[Python-modules-team] Bug#894560: pygame: Don't drop python2 package

Hi,

So, what's the use of that?

I do not target for testing - I target for buster and for sid.  Neither
pygame nor its dependencies, using Python 2, will survive the buster release
cycle, so there is no point in forcefully keeping it around in testing.  And
as you said: Non of this will transition until the problem is solved (either
by removal of the dependencies or their switch to Python 3).

All that will happen with and without the Python 2 version of Pygame.
