Hi Matthias,

I see that you just raised the severity of this bug to serious, and
Bleachbit is now to be removed on 16.11.

I don't think this is the way to go. Upstream is actively working on this.
We have recently managed the GTK3 migration, meaning that Py3 is now top
priority.  Loosing Bleachbit would be a significant source of annoyance for
many Debian users (popcon 2754 at the moment).

May I add the py2keep flag, until the Bleachbit Py3 migration completes?

regards,
Hugo

Hi,

thanks for reaching out to debian-python.  Unfortunately the pygtk py2removal 
bug (#937452) didn't see much attention, and I didn't raise the severity of this 
issue myself, just for the r-deps affecting the Python2 removal.  Pygtk will 
never be ported to Python3, so action is needed for every rdep.

You won't loose Bleachbit just because it's removed from testing for a few 
weeks/months, and I don't see any rdeps for the package itself.  Using the 
py2keep tag for packages which have a transition plan in place for bullseye 
seems to be odd, and distracts the view for packages which we apparently need to 
keep.

Lowering the severity for the bleachbit issue might be a work around, but then 
unexpected pygtk removal may bite you again.

Matthias
