This is worrying, a package with revdeps shouldn't have been dropped.

By the way, you checked only deps, not build-deps, as at least
python-coloredlogs and python-datalad has reverse build-deps.

I've also noted https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D934333

As for duplicity, the latest upstream version (not packaged) support
Python 3.
