Sorry, I wasn't thinking straight (I blame post-FOSDEM illness). That
isn't actually what you need if you want to port to python3.8 - it won't
support python3.8 until the binNMUs for this transition happen. If you
need a python3.8 version of gobject-introspection before then, you could
maybe NMU it into experimental?

I *think* Build-Depends: python3-dev (>= 3.8) should do what you'd need,
but don't necessarily trust my technical judgement right now!
