Which "python packaging guide" do you refer to?  A search for "debian python
packaging guide" does not return unambiguous results.

Your difficulties almost certainly stem from you having set wrong
build-dependencies.  The correct build-dependencies here are
'python-all-dev, python3-all-dev' - plus the python2 and python3 versions of
any other modules needed at build time.  You should, e.g., never be
build-depending on python2.7-dev without a very good reason, and if you
build-depend on libpython3.6-dev this will obviously not give you python3.5
support.

If there is a python packaging guide suggesting that these sort of build
dependencies are appropriate, we should certainly get that corrected.

Since this package is in collab-maint, I've gone ahead and pushed fixed
python3 support to the repo.
