Looking at the Packages.qz for main/i386 I came up with this list of packages 
that need uploads/binNMUs once python3.4 is default (none of them support 
multiple python versions, so it can't be done in advance as the packages are 
now).  It seems quite manageable to me.

blender  - binNMU after 3.4 default
gdb - binNMU after 3.4 default
geis - binNMU after 3.4 default
yafaray - binNMU after 3.4 default
libpeas - binNMU after 3.4 default
libreoffice - binNMU after 3.4 default
libsigrokdecode - binNMU after 3.4 default
postgresql-9.3 - binNMU after 3.4 default
pyqt5  - binNMU after 3.4 default
znc - binNMU after 3.4 default
morse-simulator - Needs source upload after 3.4 is default

I think we can do this anytime after the current libreoffice and pyqt5 uploads 
migrate.
