[Python-modules-team] Bug#943901: Bug#943901: ipykernel python 3.8

[Sandro Tosi]

Hey Gordon,
can i ask you why you split this package in 2? there are exactly 0
reverse dependencies (as in `dak rm -Rn -b -b python-ipykernel`) of
python-ipykernel in the archive, so is it really necessary to keep the
py2 version around? at all?

thanks,
Sandro
