Not really. This is probably better discussed on debian-python.

The point was that there is a lack of a good mechanism to see which 
packages provide py39 support, etc.

In principle my package ecflow just needs a rebuild after the boost is 
rebuilt, but tracking if this actually works, or add a particular 
dependency to enable automatic rebuild/tracking.
