-----BEGIN cutting here may damage your screen surface-----
root at tglase:~ # cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-cairo\:amd64.postinst
#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Automatically added by dh_python3
if which py3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        py3compile -p python3-cairo
fi
if which pypy3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        pypy3compile -p python3-cairo  || true
fi

# End automatically added section

… this is a bug in dh_python3 because changing to…

        py3compile -p python3-cairo:amd64

… makes this succeed.
