Recursively merging dictionaries with boltons.iterutils.remap. Useful for @hynek's configs. https://twitter.com/hynek/status/696720593002041345

This is an extension of the technique first detailed here:
http://sedimental.org/remap.html#add_common_keys
In short, it calls remap on each container, back to front, using the accumulating
previous values as the default for the current iteration.

Negative Python user experience on Debian/Ubuntu

Negative Python user experience on Debian/Ubuntu

The user experience of Python on a minimal Debian or Ubuntu installation is bad. Core features like virtual environments, pip bootstrapping, and the ssl module are either missing or do not work like designed and documented. Some Python core developers including me are worried and consider Debian/Ubuntu's packaging harmful for Python's reputation and branding. Users don't get what they expect.

Reproducer

The problems can be easily reproduced with official Debian and Ubuntu containers in Docker or Podman. Debian Stable (Debian 10 Buster) comes with Python 3.7.3. Ubuntu Focal (20.04 LTS) has Python 3.8.5.
