Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for the ping and sorry for the delay on this!

Yes, all three build successfully in clean Debian sid without any

Yes. Commit efec763d added debian/2to3.py and debian/2to3.1 but they
weren't being installed. I've added the install commands to
debian/rules to complete this.
The 2to3 command now works:

  $ 2to3 --help
  Usage: 2to3 [options] file|dir ...

  Options:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    -d, --doctests_only   Fix up doctests only
    [...]

$ echo "print 'hello'" > /tmp/test.py

$ 2to3 /tmp/test.py

I also updated the man page header to reference fissix instead of the
old python3-defaults versioning.

I believe so, but I am new to Debian packaging so I could have missed
things. Please let me know if I have? I also fixed changelog
formatting and autopkgtest issues (py3versions -s) in moreorless and
volatile.

Yes noted, Alexandre! I meant you copied it over from
python3-defaults. I should have been clearer. Anyway, I've removed
that line from debian/changelog. Thank you!
