Not quite:

- __future__ imports are used to tell the Python compiler to enable new 
syntax, and there is a __future__ module in the standard library 
providing run-time metadata about these syntax features

- python3-future is a normal third-party package 
(https://pypi.org/project/future/) that provides future and past modules 
to help 2-3 or 3-2 compatibility, and scripts to convert code: these 
would take more effort to remove than __future__ imports, and should 
probably be patched upstream (by removing support for Python 2 and older 
Python 3 versions)
