Removal of boto from Debian

19 Feb 2024


      Hi,
There's currently an ongoing effort to remove boto from Debian. The 
reason is: there's boto3, and boto is not maintained anymore.
These a number of packages that are still using it. Affected packages in 
the OpenStack world are (at least for Bobcat, we'll see for Caracal):
- glance-store
- swift
- heat-cfntools
This IMO requires immediate action from the concerned team, to hopefully 
get rid of this requirement before Caracal is released.
My excuses in advance if the work has already been done.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
