Indeed, I should have done it myself in the first place, but I was too quick :-)
By the way, I saw a nice addition to the template, therefore
re-submitting it to the list:

Dear Maintainer,
your package either build-depends or depends on the python-support
package, or uses dh_pysupport in debian/rules file.
python-support has been deprecated for some time, and any package
still using it should be migrated to dh_python2 and dh_python3.
Instructions on how to migrate packages to dh_python2/dh_python3 can
be found on the Debian wiki [0]. An overview of the anatomy of a
package using the pybuild and dh_python{2,3} helpers can be found in
the Python Module Style Guide [1].
Please test your package thoroughly to make sure the transition to
dh_python2/dh_python3 is done correctly and does not cause a negative
impact on your package. In particular, please test upgrades from the
current jessie and stretch/sid versions of the package.
If your package does not yet use Python 3, please consider adding
Python 3 support to your package at the same time as updating the
build system; the py3k porters can offer assistance with that [2].
