How is that graph turned into a list of packages? It's too large to
scan manually.

I'm attaching a sorted list of the packages you mentioned in the first
email but I can't see how to update the list from the graph.

I'm trying to work out what links to python-tftpy or whether it
merely links to others (and why, because the package itself doesn't
declare any dependencies except python2 and I can't find rdepends in
apt-cache). It's not included in the list output, so I'm confused.

https://packages.debian.org/unstable/python-tftpy

Context: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784028#10

0.8.0 has Python3 support but packaging it is more work than it
probably deserves, unless there is some reason to keep the package.

I'm on the mass bug filing, but I need the tracker updated again.  And I need to
go through the suggestions here on the list how to work on things to make the
py2-rm issues more readable.  I didn't hear back from Piotr after DebConf, but I
think what we need is dh-python generating python2/python2.7 dependencies
instead of python dependencies, and maybe make shebang rewriting to
python2/python2.7 the default.
