upstream drop of Python 2 support doesn't mean you need to drop it too. For
example I'm keeping pytest at lower version for same reason. Please respect
Python 2 removal and release team rules and don't remove Python 2 support
untill all reverse(-build) depends (+autopkgtests) are fixed. Removing of
python-keyring is blocked by 4 bugs, But recursively it's dozens, for
example python-mock is affected. Removing this means marking dozens off
Debian packages as AUTORM. Please be careful.

If you really need to upgrade python-keyring to newer version, you could
split it into two source packages. But do it only if it's really needed.

Thanks for understanding.
