If python-3 is installed, it will cause extra files to be installed, not justin python-3, but any packages that support both python-2 and python-3 will potentially get files installed for both versions of python. > If having python-3 will cause stable users problems, then we probably=20 > shouldn't be stabilizing it anyway. =20 AFAIK, the only "problem" we are debating about is the extra files being installed.
