sorry, hit Send before finishing ...

- some more applications are still using Python2. software-center,
deja-dup, duplicity.

- upstream is wary to support bindings for both 2.7 and 3.4,
looking for alternative solutions

- ibus and libpeas have packages both depending on 2.7 and 3.4.
these probably should be split.

- the rest are "mostly" scripts.

Please reply to particular issues directly in the bug reports.

needs python3-xapian, which will get usable with xapian-bindings 1.4 (not yet
released).

deja-dup (seeded as a recommends)
1440370 needs porting

duplicity (dep of deja-dup)
1440372 partially ported

zeitgeist
dependency of activity-log-manager (seeded as a recommends)
1440373
supported upstream, build a python3-zeitgeist package and let zeitgeist depend
on it

oneconf (dependency of software-center)
oneconf-common should use python3 by default
1440375

strange dependency on python-notify, while it otherwise only

Fixed. upstream dropped pynotify in 2008, not fixed in the
packaging. Now even demoted.
