Bug description:
  Upgrading OpenStack from Queens to Rocky results in removal of
  neutron-l3-agent package which leads to a networking outage.

  The issue with the fact that first python3 packages are installed and
  then python2 packages are purged. The neutron-l3-agent package depends
  on both.

  At the same time neutron-dhcp-agent survives the upgrade while both
  packages seem to have identical "Depends" directives for
  python[3]-neutron:

  https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-dev/ubuntu/+source/neutron/tree/debian/control?h=stable/rocky#n178
  Package: neutron-l3-agent
  Architecture: all
  Depends:
   conntrack,
   iputils-arping,
   keepalived,
   neutron-metadata-agent (= ${source:Version}),
   python-neutron (= ${source:Version}) | python3-neutron (= ${source:Version}),
   python-neutron-fwaas (>= 1:13.0.0~) | python3-neutron-fwaas (>= 1:13.0.0~),

  https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-dev/ubuntu/+source/neutron/tree/debian/control?h=stable/rocky#n156
  Package: neutron-dhcp-agent
  Architecture: all
  Depends:
   dnsmasq-base (>= 2.76),
   dnsmasq-utils (>= 2.76),
   neutron-metadata-agent (= ${source:Version}),
   python-neutron (= ${source:Version}) | python3-neutron (= ${source:Version}),

  When I try to install neutron-l3-agent it tries to pull python2 dependencies again (even though the python3 ones are already there):
