What is the purpose of the helper applications? Is there a significant use case for “I want specifically the Python 2 version of this application”? If not, I would advise making only the Python 3 applications available, in a separate binary package (and put it it “Section: database”) which describes the purpose without mentioning Python versions. -- \ “Roll dice!” “Why?” “Shut up!
