Hi,

On some of my systemds, the _only_ thing
that keep python2 installed is lsb-release;
itself a depedendy of unattended-upgrades,
but also needed by piuparts on the infra servers.

But well, there is already #719063 & #761954...

2to3 says one just needs to remove this single line hereunder;
but then a new /usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
must too get generated, with the same 1 line removed,
and /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.py remain unchanged.

debian-goodies, as standalone "applications", should be easy too;
2to3 does 99% of the work
