The next release (6.1.28, whenever it will happen) should not have
the python2 dependency any more. Hope that the additional comments
in the packaging are clear enough so that this issue will never
re-occur.<br>

Detailed investigation revealed that the removal of the python2
dependency was due to a build issue with 6.1.24 where the release
engineer used a workaround (there was a build failure) which had
this side effect.<br>
<br>
In any case, the dependency (which was actually added back by a
developer in 6.1.6) should not be there.<br>
<br>
The python3 support still needs some work because practically
every Ubuntu version has a different 3.x version (which means that
we'd need to build many more packages for the various Ubuntu
versions). There is a special stable API for python3 which we need
to adapt our code to use, then it will be feasible.<br>
<br>
It is the required library which causes those API dependencies.
The actual python scripts are long adapted and can be used by
python3 without trouble.<br>
