Dear maintainers,

Your minieigen package includes support in debian/rules for multiple
versions of python3, but had a build-dependency on python3-all +
python3-dev.  When python3.5 support was added to Debian recently, and
minieigen started to FTBFS in response, you added a build-dependency on
python3.5-dev as well.

This is a wrong fix.  You should be build-depending on python3-all and
python3-all-dev, and avoid hard-coding individual python versions in
debian/control.

Please see the attached patch for this.

I am filing this bug as Severity: important, because while it does not
currently cause your package to FTBFS, it will eventually become a FTBFS bug
the next time a new version of python3 is added to the distribution.
