it's communicated here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=py2removal;users=debian-python@lists.debian.org

derived from
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python2-rm.html (not perfect, we are 
still missing bug reports).


it's way too early to mark all of these as RC.

No, it's not yet decided if Python2 will be part of bullseye.  But the python 
command and the unversioned python packages won't be part of bullseye.
