Please ping me if you do so since I'd like to add this to the Debian Med
tasks with the proper binary package name.

I personally would not see it that drastically. As long there is some
Python 2 interpreter in Debian a package should be allowed to go in.
Once this is about to be removed the packages depending from it could be
removed. Meanwhile several upstreams will be convinced that they can't
stick to Python 2.
Kind regards
