I suspect developers may be reading too much into Lintian output,
reading them as "Please remove your Python 2.x module".
The motivating behind these tags were to prevent new Python 2.x
packages being added to the archive (due to habit if anything
else!) unless they were needed or requested, of course.
Indeed, python 2 modules are not forbidden, but NEW packages are *expected* to provide python 3 plus optionally python 2 support, not python 2 only. But good reasons would allow package to be accepted anyway.
I think that warning is really to hint users to go to python 3 which should be default now....
