[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#973435: biosig build-depends on python3-all-dev, but only builds for the default python3 version

[Alois Schlögl]

Thanks for the hint on py3versions, this helped solving the issue for v2.1.0.


I believe bug #972684, #973435 are fixed now.

Debian packages of biosig 2.1.0-1 are now availab
