That's not a problem. What I want to know is if the guide you wrote is
already working and stable or not, and so if we can prepare py3k
packages that will not require further change in a matter of days (or
so). From your reply, I can infer the answer is 'no', which is fine,
since I just wanted to know that :)

If you want to use this argument, than this questions quickly arise:
why is having python3 packages in squeeze pushed so hard when we don't
have yet a stable and working workflow?
