Hi,

I've given it a spin and it looks like all involved scripts work with
both python and python3.
I won't be changing the shebang (#!/usr/bin/env python) as I assume
once python2 is gone python will map to python3 in the PATH.

I've left an alternative Recommends: python-pyelftools | python3-
pyelftools given that at the moment the shebang will still call
python2. Once the python-pyelftools package is gone from the archive
though it should just keep working.
