python-boto: obsolete, replaced by python-boto3

[Graham Inggs]

As per:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058652

Python-boto has long ago been superseded upstream by python-boto3, which has
been in Debian for several releases. Python-boto is not maintained upstream
and is not being ported to modern python versions.

On behalf of the cloud team, please remove python-boto from unstable testing
(assuming the latter doesn't happen automatically following removal from
unstable).

heat-cfntools has officially been retired in the upstream OpenStack project so we should just RM it from the archive - I'll mention this to zigo as well for Debian.

[Server Team CI bot (server-team-bot)]

This bug is fixed with commit 8497b634 to simplestreams on branch master.

I filed a minimal MIR for python-boto3 at https://launchpad.net/bugs/2061217

[Alberto Contreras (aciba)]

For the simplestreams target, it was discussed and agreed by paelzer, paride and aciba that it does not require an FFE because:

> In general a change like this would require an FFe, unless it is the only viable way to fix a (sufficiently high importance) bug. In this case the bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-boto/+bug/2052437 and in my opinion that it is important enough, and switching to boto3 is the only sensible way to fix it

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

An extra word on why this all got so late and lost for too long for full transparency. Simplestreams is held in main by `platform-git/supported-maas:53: * python3-simplestreams`. It is per-subscriptions owned by not one, but two teams (already bad) - server & maas teams for historical reasons. But it is actually maintained by Paride (foundations / QA) and code contributions mostly are from CPC which publish into it. Sadly this setup was begging for things top be lost in the mid of shared responsibilities. This needed a lessons learned and discussions happened, the outcome is that CPC will take over ownership in a bit (With some remaining support from Paride in the cases where it is actually about infrastructure issues). Eric has a task to work out that transfer.

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

python-boto3, python-botocore, python-s3transfer promoted to main, which should unblock [1].

python-boto demoted to universe as it is no more needed (we can't go all in yet and remove it as there still is heat-cnft).

Override component to universe

Once simplestreams is migrating it should close this bug on the next run of proposed migration, rechecking that later.
