So maybe this isn't as difficult as I first thought.   The basic idea is
that instead of putting both the libpythonloader and libpython3loader
shared libs in the same binary package, I'm creating two new binary
packages libpeas-1.0-0-python2loader and libpeas-1.0-0-python3loader.

Each of this will only contain the respective .so.  Thus
libpeas-1.0-0*.deb will have no Python dependency at all, and the split
binaries will only have the appropriate libpython2.7 or libpython3.5
dependency.

Then we'll need to update the Depends of the packages mentioned above,
by adding:

* deja-dup - libpeas-1.0-0-python3loader
* eog-plugins - libpeas-1.0-0-python3loader
* gedit(-dev/-plugins) - libpeas-1.0-0-python3loader
* gnome-core-devel (for libpeas-dev): libpeas-1.0-0-python2loader
* gtranslator: libpeas-1.0-0-python2loader
* liferea: libpeas-1.0-0-python2loader
* totem-plugins/libtotem0: libpeas-1.0-0-python3loader
* rhythmbox (and many friends): libpeas-1.0-0-python3loader

I don't think any of the other libpeas binary packages need splitting.

I'll attach the patch for libpeas.  Could someone on the desktop team
please let me know if this is sane, and if so, could you shepherd the
necessary changes (for this and the dependents) into Debian and Ubuntu
as appropriate?

Title:
  libpeas-1.0-0 depends on both libpython2.7 and libpython3.4

Status in libpeas package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in libpeas package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  libpeas-1.0-0 depends on both libpython2.7 and libpython3.4,
  preventing the removal of python2 from the desktop CD images. Please
  split out the loaders into two different packages so that
  libpeas-1.0-0 doesn't prevent removal of python2.7 from the desktop CD
  images.
