I don't think python3 need to be standard. Better keep it optional as it is.
As of of Python 2, indeed there are overrides for Python 2: $ zgrep ^python override.sid.main.gz | grep standard python standard python python-minimal standard python python2.7 standard python python3-reportbug standard python # This one is ok. $ Lets make them (the three first ones) optional or remove from the overrides. I also checked libpython* overrides, and there are some, but they are all `optional`: $ zgrep ^libpython override.sid.main.gz | grep -v libpython3 libpython-all-dbg optional debug libpython-dbg optional debug libpython2-dbg optional debug libpython2.7-dbg optional debug libpython-all-dev optional libdevel libpython-dev optional libdevel libpython2-dev optional libdevel libpython2.7-dev optional libdevel libpython2.7-testsuite optional libdevel libpython2.7 optional libs libpython-stdlib optional python libpython2-stdlib optional python libpython2.7-minimal optional python libpython2.7-stdlib optional python $ Why they are in this file in the first place I don't know. Maybe because of Section. If Python2 maintainers agree, I guess it is appropriate to reassign the bug to `ftp.debian.org` pseudo-package.
