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
