I don't think so.

e.g. fontforge is still red in
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python3.8.html.

That means that a rebuild of stuff using fontforge in the build will
just FTBFS since it will be called with python3.8 and that has no module
for 3.8 (yet).

(Seen in a python-3.8-as-default testbuild for libreoffice some time
ago.)

OK, maybe. But that also means that when python3.8 is default and
fontforge isn't yet rebuilt for python3.8-as-default but some package
from my list is rebuilt the same problem happens.

Then fontforge (which is not in the list below!) needs to be rebuilt before
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python3.8-default.html
is worked on.

Didn't see it there so wanted to go sure.

Regards,

Rene

OK; inded it seems to just work. Maybe I even misremembered an it was
graphite2 and python3-fonttools. (Reused the chroot for multiple tests.)

But I *had* a module import failure when I tried some months ago.
