This seemes so easy that I wonder whether it really worked. The 
changes involved:

 * replacing python-dev with python3-dev in build-dependencies
 * exporting INLINE_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 in debian/rules

Build scceeded, including the non-trivial test suite. The resulting 
binary package depends on libpython3.7. Autopkgtests also pass.
