Hi,

This needs some additional clarification, I'm not entirely sure what's
going to happen. If I now tinker around with sid, the case is following:

python3.8 does not install ensurepip, however it installs the venv module
(which dh-virtualenv requires). However, command "python -m venv /tmp/foo"
fails as expected, since ensurepip is missing.

Now, python3.8-venv contains the ensurepip module. But to me it is very
unclear if python3.8-venv is going to disappear? It also makes depending on
these packages generally a lot more brittle: I'd rather depend on
python3-venv than python3.8-venv. We are not depending on the
/usr/bin/pyvenv binary, but executing the module with "python -m venv", so
it does not matter if the python3-venv just drops the binary.

Could you please clarify what is going to be removed, which packages are
going to stay?
