Really no need to apologize - I simply had a real life weekend as well.

I was running routine-update and have build the package.  When calling
a random binary I experienced:


$ plot_features 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/plot_features", line 6, in <module>
    from .lefse import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__main__.lefse'; '__main__' is not a package


As far as I can see this is actually a Python3 conversion issue
I really wonder whether this chunk of the patch should be rather
droped and

   from lefse import *

should remain.

Asking on Debian Mentors list is an option to clarify the test suite
issue.  We could even upload the package to new queue.  It will last
some time anyway to pass the queue.  The package is also not totally
broken (binaries are starting, some tests are passing).  Its hard to
tell whether those failures are practically important or not.  We could
hope for user bug reports.

I've seen and appreciated your commits. :-)
