+ansible (2.7.5+dfsg-2) experimental; urgency=medium
+
+ With this version build and runtime of ansible has switched to python3. If you
+ don't use custom task modules or custom inventory modules, this will likely
+ not affect you. If you do have the above, you need to ensure those work with
+ python 3 before upgrading. Instructions and migration tips can be found in the
+ upstream documentation or in the ansible-doc package.
+
+ Note that switching will only affects the ansible controller. The remote nodes
+ will continue to use python 2. This means you need to ensure that your custom
+ task modules run on both python 2 and 3.
+
+ If you also want to switch the remote nodes to python 3, you need to ensure
+ that they have at least python 3.5 installed. You can then set the
+ "ansible_python_interpreter" inventory variable to /usr/bin/python3.
