I think that’s pretty normal.  We have the same situation in
‘python2-openssl’ where we have to explicitly add ‘python2-cryptography’
and remove ‘python-cryptography’.  This is also why any python2 variant
of a package with ‘python-numpy’ among its inputs has to be treated
specially.

It would, of course, be nice if package-with-python2 could handle this
automatically.
