Continuing to demote Python 2, we want to get rid of it on server[*] if at all
possible. For example, I've identified byobu, landscape-common, and vim as
three packages with `Task: server` pulling in Python 2.7.

For byobu, we have LP: #1253458, currently waiting on some feedback from
Dustin.

For vim, we have http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729924
currently waiting on feedback from Debian Vim maintainers. I'm not a Vim
user, but if you want to help test this, a package is available in my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~barry/+archive/experimental

Based on your feedback, I'd be willing to temporarily get ahead of Debian here.

landscape-client may be trickier because that gets us into some Twisted
packages, which aren't yet packaged for Python 3.

Looks like powernap still depends on Python 2.

>backuppc

Whatever is pulling this one in should be ported to python3-bs4, or at least
python-bs4 since afaict beautifulsoup 3 is no longer being actively maintained
upstream (critical bug fixes only according to them).

Upstream 0.7 supports Python 3, but not yet Debian - BTS #731280.

>python-pecan)

Upstream 0.4.2 supports Python 3, but not yet Debian - BTS #731283.
