Agreed! If there are bits and pieces useful to both the Python 2 and 3
versions, please consider adding a -common or functionally similar binary
package to hold them. I guess in some cases it wouldn't be completely
horrible to just duplicate the files in both the python- and python3-
packages, but I generally don't like to do that unless it's really less size
and effort to do so (e.g. one or two files).
