Bug#975014: Status of Python 2 in Bullseye

[Moritz Muehlenhoff]

Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist

I think Python 2 is important enough to warrant an explicit mention
in the Bullseye release notes, I'd propose the following:

--------
Debian Bullseye includes a version of Python 2.7 (and a short list of
related packages like setuptools still built Python 2 packages). However, these
are only included for building a few applications which still require
Python 2 as part of their build process. Python 2 is not supported for
running applications and there won't be any security updates for Python
2 in Bullseye.
--------

Unsure where to add it, though. Either under "What's new in the distribution?"
or under "Issues to be aware of for bullseye"?

Cheers,
Moritz
