[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#866528: src:python-biotools: Inappropriate use of arch:any vice arch:all

Package: src:python-biotools
Version: 1.2.12-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

This package build-depends on python3 dev packages even though it has no
arch:any Python3 content.  This is not needed and complicates transition
trackinig for us, the python maintainers, (which is why I'm filing this as
important) [1].  As you can see, the package shows up as affected by the
transition when, in fact, it isn't.  This is also true for python and I've
addressed that as well.

Please see the attached patch.  I have written the debian/changelog in the NMU
form, but have no immediate intent to NMU.  I've verified the package still
builds and correct dependencies are generated.  If you would prefer I NMU,
please let me know and I'll be glad to do so.
