I don't see 1. as a real option at this point. Yes, it'll get less 
useful to keep /usr/bin/python3 if we have /usr/bin/python, but upstream 
installs a python3 binary (IIRC mostly because we asked for it) and 
virtualenv etc. do.

Deperaction discussions should probably happen upstream, once we've 
added /usr/bin/python back. We can start them and say that we're not 
against it.
