Control: reopen -1 7.0.0-1

Err, that's not really the solution.
The not ideal solution was to build for the default python version, i.e.
build-depend on python3-dev and use python3. That would have built against
python3.7 when that was the default, and against python3.8 now that it has
changed. And with a binNMU from the release team, you wouldn't have even noticed.
The ideal solution is to build against python3-all-dev and build for *all*
supported python versions. So that when python3.7 and python3.8 are both
supported, you build the python extension for both of them.
Cheers,
