It's been useful to have a standalone version of the stdlib module, and in
fact, I maintain the enum34 package in Debian. However, we only support that
for Python 2 since we don't have to worry about any Python 3 versions before
3.4 (and even there, 3.5 is the default for Stretch and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
We do have reverse dependencies for python-enum34, but given that we *really*
want people to port to Python 3, I'm not sure I really care too much any more
about enum34 in Debian.
