ok. packagekit-backend-aptcc depends on:
* python, python3-packagekit ( i think the python dep, is just a typo)
* gdebi-core -> python, python-apt, python-debian.

I'll open the tasks to port those to python3.

Title:
  packagekit-backend-aptcc pulls in python2

Bug description:
  Investigating the chain of reverse-depends of python2, i've noticed
  gdebi-core / packagekit-backend-aptcc are pulled onto the images.

  It appears that packagekit and packagekit-plugin-click are explicitely
  seeded in, but packagekit has a hard dependency on packagekit-backend-
  aptcc.

  I don't believe packagekit-backend-aptcc should be present on the
  touch images, since they are read-only by default and no apt
  operations are expected to be performed. Would it be reasonable to
  change packagekit Depends to "packagekit-backend-aptcc | packagekit-
  plugin-click" such that packagekit-backend-aptcc could be avoided on
  the touch images?
