Hi, the others have been dropped from the version being prepared, but 
python3-dev is needed for dh_auto_test:

dh_auto_test: warning: warning: pybuild does not support building out of 
source tree. In source building enforced.
E: Please add appropriate interpreter package to Build-Depends, see 
pybuild(1) for details.this: $VAR1 = bless( {
