The grafted replacement system is for packages that have the same binary
interface, and should be used when we must change a package *now* but it
would otherwise require a huge number of rebuilds. That is, for security
updates to core packages.

There aren't very many packages using python-pep8 and python2-pep8, so
we should just make them all use this new package that supersedes
python-pep8.
