I agree, that would be nice to have!  My suspicion is that it's too
late for this, because a NEW src:python3-ipython might be considered a
large/disruptive change post 12 Jan 2019, but I could be wrong. Here
is the output from apt-cache rdepends python3-ipython on sid:

Reverse Depends:
  ipython3
  python3-caffe-cuda
  python3-yt
  python3-sagenb-export
  python3-skbio
  python3-randomize
  python3-pweave
  python3-line-profiler
  python3-fluids
  python3-pyraf
  python3-pprofile
  python3-nbconvert
  python3-nb2plots
  python3-jupyter-console
  python3-itango
  python3-ipywidgets
  androguard
  python3-ipykernel
  python3-glue
  python3-caffe-cpu

Sorry, I don't have time to make sure the rdeps wouldn't break before
the soft freeze.  Worst case scenario is that the new ipython3 would
be a good candidate for buster-backports.


Kind regards,
Nicholas
