The Debian python policy §4.2 has a MUST directive for a dependency on
python2, which does not exist at all.

I'm guessing that this was at some point in time a virtual package or
similar provided by the default python2 interpreter? Not sure. Anyway,
would be good if that was fixed.

[I ran into this while packaging autorandr and trying my best to follow
policy.]
