i dont believe this is a sensible approach; for example i maintain
python-mpmath, that would be rendered uninstallable the moment
python-gmp2 is removed. Now, python-mpmath has 3 external
reverse-dependencies (just to name a couple, sagemath and simpy) that
would be then uninstallable, and so on and so forth for all their
rdeps.

Martin, i think for now the only option is to keep the py2 packages
around until we're ready to drop them (ie they have 0 rdeps).
