Bug#809446: python3-libhfst: Package will become non-working once python3.5 is default python3

[Scott Kitterman]

Package: python3-libhfst
Version: 3.8.2~r4145-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Currently the package only builds support for the default python3 version.  As a
result, once the default version switches from python3 3.4 to 3.5, it will
be unusable until it can be rebuilt.  The best practice (as described in the
Debian Python policy) is to build for all supported versions.  Then whichever
is default, the package still works.  Additionally, this package doesn't use
the standard Python helper, dh-python, to generate proper dependencies.  Due
to that, it would not be detected as needing rebuild for the transition.

Please see the attached patch (formatted as an NMU because that's what
devscripts handed me, but I have no near term plans to NMU).  This makes the
package more generally conform to Python policy.
