Bug Description
SRU REQUEST, Xenial
[IMPACT]
dbufstat.py arc_summary.py arcstat.py should be using python3 rather than the older python2
[Test case]
running these ZFS helper tools should run with w/o python2 installed (and instead work with python3)
[Regression potential]
These helper scripts for checking ZFS state won't work if we regress. However it will not affect overall ZFS per se as these scripts are useful utilities and not part of the core ZFS functionality. Risk to ZFS core functionality on this SRU is therefore zero.

As we discussed, this should just be a matter of changing the package dependency. The actual scripts support Python 3.
This assumes that the python3 package is using the alternatives system such that /usr/bin/python will still exist on a python3-only system.
