Many of them only build support for the default python3 and so they will be bad until after they are rebuilt following the switch. I filed bugs with patches for packages that seemed to be ~easy to make build for multiple versions. Some of the remainder should not be build-depending on python3-dev at all since they don't have any arch specific content. I filed a stack of bugs on those too (as well as doing a team upload or two). That should leave in the neighborhood of 45 - 50 binNMUs, which isn't so many. Does anyone object if I go ahead and ask the release team for a transition slot? [1] https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python3.5.html
