I also begun to introduce autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild in a couple of packages (mostly my newer ones that made it in the Debian Python Team umbrella). The main improvement is that this allows, almost for free, running the dh_auto_test suite in autopkgtest context, which is a non-trivial improvement over the basic offered by the autopkgtest-pkg-python test suite. I write "almost for free", because things work when resorting only to pybuild to run the test suite (configuration using the environment variables like PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS are properly taken in account in such context), and some files necessary for running the test suite may need to be copied over manually in a special d/rules target "before-pybuild-autopkgtest". You can refer to python-parsl d/rules file for example[1], and to pybuild-autopkgtest(1) manual[2] for further details.
