Yes, that's a good point.

I've done some more investigation of reverse-depends and looking for
likely bad patterns with codesearch.d.n, and the set of packages which
A) appear to contain plain `yaml.load(f)` or equivalent, where `yaml` is
pyyaml and B) actually depend or build-depend on `python3-yaml` is
smaller than I feared. This is what I came up with:

```
ansible # confirm - in ansible_collections/community/general/plugins
buildbot # confirm - in porttostable
ceph # confirm, in civetweb/third_party/duktape, src/test/crimson
docker-compose # confirm, in tests
dose3 # confirm, in scripts
elasticsearch-curator # confirm, in test/unit
etm # confirm, in etmTk/data
ganeti # confirm, in qa, test/py
gnocchi # confirm, in gnocchi/gendoc
gr-dab # confirm, in python/app
jeepyb # confirm, in cmd/notify_impact
knitpy # confirm, in knitpy
labgrid # confirm, in remote/coordinator
lecm # confirm, in lecm/configuration
lirc # confirm, in lirc/database
lqa # confirm, in lqa_api/job
open-adventure # confirm, in tests
owslib # confirm, in ogcapi
policyd-rate-limit # confirm, in config, tests
python-aptly # confirm, in publisher
python-canmatrix # confirm, in canmatrix/formats/yaml
python-multipart # confirm, in multipart/tests
python-pybedtools # confirm, in test, contrib
python-seqcluster # confirm, in install
python-tempestconf # confirm, in config_tempest/profile
qcat # confirm, in adapters
qcengine # confirm, in config
refstack-client # confirm, in refstack_client
relatorio # confirm, in templates/chart
ripe-atlas-tools # confirm, in tools/settings
ros-genpy # confirm, in test
ros-rosinstall # confirm, in test, src/rosinstall
ros-rosinstall-generator # confirm, in test, src/rosinstall_generator
spades # confirm, in assembler/src/test/teamcity,
assembler/src/projects/mts, assembler/src/spades_pipeline
xrstools # confirm, in WIZARD
zlmdb # confirm, in _database
```

I don't know if all these codepaths are actually ever reached, or tests
ever run, so the packages won't necessarily break (or the breakage is
very minor, such as a single community plugin in ansible). I don't
guarantee there are no omissions from the list though.

There is a significantly longer list of packages which appear to contain
a use of yaml.load _somewhere_, but it is usually in some
maintainer/release script, or an optional path somewhere, and the
package itself doesn't [build-]depend on python3-yaml.
