Since building PDAL for both Python 2 and Python 3 is non-trivial, and
the full freeze deadline approaching, I've updated the python-pdal
(source) package to no longer build the python3-pdal (binary) packages.
The other way around (building both pdal & python-pdal only with Python
3) was possible too, but based on the popcon scores the Python 2 version
is much more popular.

Kind Regards,

Bas
