[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1001797: python-duckpy: autopkgtest tests all supported python3 versions but doesn't ensure they are installed

Source: python-duckpy
Version: 3.2.0-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

We are in the transition of adding python3.10 to the supported Python 
versions [0]. With a recent upload of python3-defaults the autopkgtest 
of python-duckpy fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the 
binary packages of python3-defaults from unstable. It passes when run 
with only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
python3-defaults       from testing    3.9.8-1
python-duckpy          from testing    3.2.0-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems the 
test tries to test for all supported Python3 versions, but fails to 
ensure all those versions are actually installed during the test. E.g. a 
test dependency on python3-all (or one of its siblings).

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of python3-defaults 
to testing [1]. https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html lists 
what's new in Python3.10, it may help to identify what needs to be updated.
