While there are Python 2 and Python 3 Debian packages if `catkin_pkg` they are not side-by-side installable which has been a long standing issue. If you have every tried to use e.g. `python3-ros-buildfarm` you have noticed that it basically collides with the core ROS Debian packages like `ros-<distro>-catkin`.
We will finally tackle this issue and have considered a couple of different approaches. Please see the [ticket](
https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/catkin_pkg/issues/125#issuecomment-276210536) for more details about the requirements, rational, and approaches. Any feedback is highly welcome. Please comment on the ticket directly.
Cheers,
- Dirk
