I tested locally with numpy from experimental, and it seems to me that
the extensions for 3.10 are built, but not being installed.

$ find . -name '*cpython*'
./build-py3.9/bindings/python/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.9/pygetdata.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
./build-py3.9/bindings/python/pygetdata.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
./build-py3.10/bindings/python/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.10/pygetdata.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
./debian/python3-pygetdata/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pygetdata.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
./debian/tmp/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pygetdata.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

It's probably simplest to wait until the Python 3.10 transition is
underway and packages are available in unstable.  This bug is just a
headsup, hence severity 'important' and not 'serious'.
