Just a quick follow-up I've been meaning to send.

Which is what I'm going to do.  I've interacted with upstream and there's just
no reason for us to be shipping a Python 3 version of enum34, especially in
Stretch given our current and future supported Python 3 versions.  I'll be
uploading a new version of enum34 that deletes python3-enum34 asap.

py3porters, please keep this in mind and don't add it back.  It'll ftbfs
anyway and I'll close any related bug as won't fix.

In general, I think we'll just have to take similar situations on a
case-by-case basis.  For packages which provide additional functionality not
in stdlib Python 3, it may still make sense to provide a python3- version of
the package.

Cheers,
