Hi Antoine (2025.11.12_15:49:08_+0000)
I've been wondering whether it's time we finally make this change. Concretely, I think it means: 1. deprecating /usr/bin/python3 2. shipping Python 3 as /usr/bin/python directly I think we should do this for Debian 14 (forky), and stop shipping python3 altogether in Debian 15 (?).
I don't see 1. as a real option at this point. Yes, it'll get less useful to keep /usr/bin/python3 if we have /usr/bin/python, but upstream installs a python3 binary (IIRC mostly because we asked for it) and virtualenv etc. do.
Deperaction discussions should probably happen upstream, once we've added /usr/bin/python back. We can start them and say that we're not against it.
