As python2.7 is still in buster repositories, it's somehow supported by Debian at least until buster EOL ~2022. Is there a Debian strategy for what that support actually means? I'm asking for the interpreter / standard library in particular. Will Debian developers pick and apply security/bugfix patches from the broader community? Or will they even develop patches on their own? Or not that much, besides keeping runtime and reverse dependencies buildable? The Debian way for >= bullseye is quite clear from reading this list, but I couldn't find much about the "dead upstream" period in buster. Thanks for all your work, Tobias
