Seems somebody called 'arcanis' is I =)

If you was a maintainer you would have to be notified. There was a request [1] 
and there was no any discussion there. But really, it is my mistake because 
vdirsyncer provides only python3 library and there are packages which require 
python2 library. I've uploaded the python2-vdirsyncer back and have disowned 
it.
