Yes, 4.1.0 does build with python3.8, which I discovered in the process of
trying to prepare a fixed build for 4.0.4 (the current package at the time I
started).  I went ahead anyway with submitting this bug because I think it's
still per se correct to only build-depend on python3 here instead of
python3-all, regardless of whether the new upstream version happens to be
compatible with python3.8.
