In Bullseye Python 2 will only be supported for build deps (using Py2 to build the code or run tests), given that the content of what we ship in a release is trusted/known. This doesn't extend to run time dependencies (and libpam-python depends on libpython2.7). I'll submit updates to debian-security-support and the bullseye release notes in the next days. Cheers, Moritz
