Hi!

The pyflakes package currently provides only /usr/bin/pyflakes3 and does
not provide /usr/bin/pyflakes. Historically the pyflakes binary was
available as /usr/bin/pyflakes (Python 2) alongside pyflakes3 (Python 3).
Since Python 2 has been end-of-life for many years, do we need still
this distinction?

I'm asking because most tooling elsewhere expects the pyflakes to be
there.

If someone is still using Python 2, they could simply install pyflakes as
pyflakes2.


Kindly,
Ole
