Apparently the answer to "it's been totally non-functional since Python 2
was removed from unstable/testing in 2022: it starts by trying to run
pyversions, which no longer exists" is "everything that uses it is skipped
via overrides":

https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/p/python-extras/rules-1.0.0-5
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/p/python-designateclient/rules-6.1.0-2
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/o/ovn-bgp-agent/rules-3.0.0-1

etc.
