[Bug 1869447] Re: python-is-python3 & python-is-python2 do not Provides: python

[Matthias Klose]

third party packages should *not* depend on python, but directly on
python2 (deprecated) or python3 (preferred)

Bug description:
  This is a bug in Focal prerelease.

  Third-party packages like Steam currently appear to Depend: upon
  python, but nothing Provides: python, only Conflicts: python.

  I believe that python-is-... should Provide: python so that packages
  that expect to use /usr/bin/python aren't surprised.
