[Bug 1850283] Please test proposed package

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-ldap into disco-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-
ldap/3.1.0-2ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * python-ldap & python3-ldap used to share documentation which resulted in python3-ldap package depending on python-ldap
   * However whilst that used to be harmless, it no longer is, due to perceived risks of pulling in unused interpreter.
   * Solution is to stop linking docs directory cross-packages like it is done in the later releases
   * As a minimal sru, auxiliary and api documentation will remain shipped in python-ldap package with -doc subpackage not being introduced.

  [Test Case]

   * Install python3-ldap from release
   * Observe that /usr/share/doc/python3-ldap is a symlink
   * Upgrade to python3-ldap from proposed
   * Observe that /usr/share/doc/python3-ldap is a directory
   * Remove python-ldap python2.7-minimal
   * Observe that python3-ldap is still installed

  [Regression Potential]

   * The changes introduced match those that are shipped in focal, sans
  introduction of the docs package

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report

  By moving away from Python2 following problem occured.

  The package Package: python3-ldap (3.0.0-1) is dependent on
  Package: python-ldap (3.0.0-1).

  This has a dependency: python interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version)
  python (<< 2.8)
  python (>= 2.7~)

  see https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python-ldap

  We need Canonicals support for a backport the changes from
  https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3-ldap ,which resolves this
  python2 dependency.

  Many thanks in advance.
