3) There might also still be some other packages lurking which just
install a script with a shebang containing 'python', and assume that
python is python2. I don't know how we could identify those.
The remaining cases of packages which have a dependency on python
and/or python2 are either this (packages which contain a python script
with a python shebang line), or the other case which I hadn't
previously considered - a package which contain an executable or
shared library linked with libpython2.7.dll.
So, again I need inspect these to determine what should happen to them.
So here's the list, with *tentative* notes of the disposition for each
package.

Hi Jari,
I believe these packages all need updating for python3.
Please confirm if this assessment is correct, and let me know if you
intend to do this, otherwise I will assume these packages are orphaned
and they will be removed.
Thanks.
