Maintainers are free to remove python2 if there are no reverse dependencies left for the obvious unsupportability. This happened here in [1] to resolve [2]
There also is no installation candidate left in a recent archive. Maybe replaces/breaks was a bit too much (as users like you could be happy to keep the old one around on an upgrade). But I'm unsure about the policy on such cleanups, maybe it was intentional to remove old no more supported bits. If you read the Debian bug I linked that makes sense. This isn't jsuta n Ubuntu/Debian decision, also all upstream archives/support for 2.x have ended. I'm unsure what to do here, asking you to get your application that depends on it upgraded?

I fail to understand why the python3 version of chardet would break the python2.7 version of the same module. PS: I know that python2.7 is not supported anymore, but I have an application that depends on it, and I need to install it, and that's now impossible because of this bug.
