I would also point attention to non-leaf packages, where python2 is
often a native-input which might or might not be eliminated.
Just out of curiosity I looked at the dependency-graph of icecat and
there are 24 edges going to python2 including from icecat itself, rust,
curl, clang, fontforge, zziplib, etc.
For example, I found out that zziplib uses python2 for creating
documents and there is a patch in the next release that will make it
work with python3.
I'm attaching that icecat->python2 subgraph as a dot-file.
