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.

[§] script is python2 only, not compatible with python3
Hi Marco,
Currently, octave-miscellaneous depends on python2. It would help me
greatly if you could tell me if that's correct or if it should depend on
python (if all the scripts in it also work with python3), or it should
be updated to work with python3?
Additionally, I noted that subversion-tools depends on python (due to an
explicit requires in the cygport), but... I don't see any python scripts
there, so I wonder if that should just be removed in future.
