I believe the following patch to src:vanguards can be used to use the
Python 3.x testsuite instead:

… but I'm not sure the "python3" in the dh_auto_test line is right.
"{interpreter}" there is replaced with pypy). This also assumes that
running PyPy at runtime will have identical behaviour as Python 3.x.

Enjoy...
