Package: python3-pip
Version: 20.0.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
   After recently upgrading my system on Debian unstable, the "pip3"
   command started reporting a warning about the /usr/bin/pip3 script.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
  ineffective)?
  Simply called "pip3" through bash.

* What was the outcome of this action?
   The warning is as follows:

   WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will
fail in a future version of pip.
   Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on
fixing the underlying issue.
   To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead
of running pip directly.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
   I expected no warning to occur.

/usr/bin/pip3 calls pip._internal:main, which has been deprecated.
More information is available at: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7498
The Github issue seems to suggest that the new entrypoint that should be used
is pip._internal.cli.main:main.
