As far as I understand, Debian is trying to provide a very gentle
transition period for users, and enforces explicit python versioning
in all its packages. It also encourages developers to specify
explicitly python2 or python3 by not shipping the /usr/bin/python link
by default (except for upgrades from older distro versions).
Maybe one day we can say there is only one Python version. But today
is not that day.
