installing `python-is-python3` into rocm container removes all rocm packages

Not sure, if this is the right place, but I played around with the ROCm docker images but I also needed Python3 to be the default, thus I was trying to install python-is-python3 but this removes all ROCm packages again:

$ docker run --rm -it rocm/dev-ubuntu-20.04:5.2.3
# apt-get update -q
# apt-get install -q -y --no-install-recommends apt-utils
# apt-get upgrade -q -y --no-install-recommends
# apt-get install --no-install-recommends python-is-python3

As the rocm-smi-lib packages is a known Python user, I suspect it has something to do with its dependencies. If you have other ideas how to prevent these removals, that would be appreciated too. Thanks.

Seems like a strong dependency from one of ROCm package is getting removed as python-is-python3 is installed and hence ROCm as well. Looking into which one is causing this and why.

I updated the description with a working reproducer.

After digging further it is the dependency on python in rocm-llvm that is causing this behavior.

python-is-python3 sets the field Breaks: python that is believed to trigger this.

rocm-llvm is updated with dependency specifically to python3 and upcoming release should not cause above behavior.
Adding further more, we are investigating if a dependency to any version of python can be removed from rocm-llvm.
