Bug Description

The python3-minimal package in NEW is marked Essential: yes. Since python3 is in universe for intrepid, this is certainly inappropriate.

Given the unique challenges with getting Essential packages removed from the system after installation, I'm rejecting these binaries from the NEW queue rather than accepting them. Please provide a fixed source ASAP.

  * Remove "Essential: yes" from python3-minimal (LP: #273359). Downgrade it
    and python3 to priority optional for now.
  * Fix path in python3-minimal's description.
