Would you please not use maintonly?  I didn't receive an email for
this bug, even though I'm subscribed to the team mailing list listed
as the maintainer, and I believe being purposefully cut out of the
loop like this will provoke drama with other maintainers.  There have
already been a few such threads (eg: didn't receive a notification
until my package was removed from unstable).  Best to avoid having
people feel like they're being manipulated and/or covertly bullied, I
think.  We're supposed to be the "good guys" after all ;-)

This package was packaged as a dep for Calibre.  I will hope for
Calibre's upstream success in the 2to3 migration.  BTW, it sounds like
Python 3 is planned for installtion to /usr/bin/python.  Is that the
case?


Cheers,
