I'm aware of the issues, but haven't found time to work on them lately.

I can replace python3-all-dev with python3-dev for now, but it would be better
to actually fix this and have multi-python builds.
Arcus and Savitar are SIP modules written in C++ and built with cmake.
It's not trivial to make them build automagically for all installed Python
versions.
Any help on these bugs would be very much appreciated.
