Hi Nikhil,

Thanks for checking!

The version of the package providing py3compile at postinst time should be the key factor, IIUIC?

IMHO we first should understand the issue/criteria for reproducing the problem;
so I'd wait for Branimir to reply, or we try proactively to reproduce the issue,
e.g., should pro not be enabled? (there are no 'esm' versions in attached logs.)

When that is clear, we should be in a better position to assess the impact/pros/cons of different approaches to address it.

And as Robie mentioned in comment #3, if we change that, we should be clear on the changes/impacts to do-release-upgrade
(that's why I suggested in our chat to run do-release-upgrade before/after such a change, and compare the logs to look for differences, and also understand the steps done by do-release-ugprade in general w.r.t. python, if any).
