I'm working on this here:

  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/cjwatson/python-debian.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/python3

I will probably end up depending on the six module, which I uploaded to
unstable yesterday.  It's tiny, so I shouldn't expect this to cause much
of a problem.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656288 in python3-apt
is getting in the way a bit, but I suppose worst case I can just skip
those tests when running under Python 3 for now.
