Hi,

Unless your package has "async" or "await" as API, you should ...

...simply patch the bad code so that it doesn't include await / async
where it should not. I did this extensively for OpenStack, and that's
really not hard to do.

The most annoying one was Glance, as one of its folder was named
"async". It's annoying because a patch file cannot rename a folder with
zero byte files (and in Python, there's many __init__.py files...). So,
one has to rename the folder in debian/rules, and the rest of the patch
is done as usual (except that it's done *before* the folder rename).

I hope this helps,

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
