Yeah. I think the final list is still TBD (e.g. depends on whether Chromium
still gets a Py3 port in time for the freeze).

Ok. I assumed the need for Py2 in pypy3 was a temporary thing? If it's needed
for longer (is there an estimate of sorts?), I'm also fine with keeping

I acually meant src:python2.7, debian-security-support only operates
on source packages (and then flags all installed binary packages).
