This could be your problem. Indeed, you currently need to name your binary
package python3-foo in order for pybuild do DTRT with Python 3-only packages.
You'll often see this with Python 3-only applications, as opposed to
libraries, which should always be named python-foo (Python 2) or python3-foo
(Python 3). I recently saw this with the latest python-virtualenv package.
I know that Piotr (pybuild's author) was talking about also respecting
${python3:Depends} as a signal to kick in Python 3 build, but I don't think
that's landed yet.
So, if your package is a Python library, call it python3-foo for now. If it's
an application and you don't want to use the `python3-` prefix, it's still a
good idea to set the build system to pybuild, but you'll need to do more of
the work manually, at least until the above change lands.
debian-python@ and #debian-python might be better places to get more focused
help. If you have a vcs branch, please post it and we might be able to help.
