Bug#998682: libgetdata: b-d on python3-all-dev, but not built for all supported Python3 versions

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi

Investigating locally this fails because numpy does not yet support python3.10.
Some form of tracking is needed as I think multiple packages are in this situation, and the ben tracker in transitions.debian.org is incomplete.

Regards
Alastair

    Hi Maintainer

    This package build-depends on python3-all-dev, but does not build
    extensions/libraries for all supported python3 versions.  This
    is seen on the transition tracker for adding python3.10 support [1]
    and creates false positives.

    Please either replace the b-d python3-all-dev with python3-dev,
    or build for all supported Python3 versions.  With the former
    solution you get later exposure to a new python3 version, with
    the latter solution you get early exposure.

    Regards
    Graham
