    The better solution is to remove python3-future altogether.

    I very much agree with this. Most of the time, it's simply patching out
    stuff like:

    from __future__ import <blah>


    Not quite:

    - __future__ imports are used to tell the Python compiler to enable new
    syntax, and there is a __future__ module in the standard library
    providing run-time metadata about these syntax features

    - python3-future is a normal third-party package (https://pypi.org/project/future/) that provides future and past modules
    to help 2-3 or 3-2 compatibility, and scripts to convert code: these
    would take more effort to remove than __future__ imports, and should
    probably be patched upstream (by removing support for Python 2 and older
    Python 3 versions)

    Cheers
