Is there a Lintian tag for this? That's sometimes a relatively efficient
way to get packages fixed.
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command.html
is a large part of it (that tag seems to be 99% dh-python already).
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon.html
suggests that data/debhelper/dh_addons-manual needs changing from
python2||python:any | python-all:any | python-dev:any | python-all-dev:any
python3||python3:any | python3-all:any | python3-dev:any | python3-all-dev:any
to maybe something like
python2||dh-python, python:any | python-all:any | python-dev:any | python-all-dev:any
python3||dh-python, python3:any | python3-all:any | python3-dev:any | python3-all-dev:any
(assuming multiple dependencies work in that context).

It might help to announce the intention to do a MBF on -devel now, in
the hope that some packages will get fixed before the bug-filing starts?
