Package: python-pip
Version: 9.0.1-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/pip2
man pip includes the following text:
On Debian, pip is the command to use when installing packages for Python 2, while pip3 is the command to use when
installing packages for Python 3.
That information does not seem to be correct (any more?).
It seems to be the case that pip is the command to use for python3
and pip2 is the command to use for python2.
