It will be for Python 3.3 (i.e. pysetup3).

Nice. I like this one, so I'll add it to the wiki page. Feel free to add the others if you think they're worth mentioning. >* “dh_python2 will correctly fill in the installation dependencies (via > ${python:Depends} and ${python3:Depends}” — dh_python2 doesn't touch > python3:Depends.

Right, other than Python packages tend to have NEWS files.

I just meant that there doesn't need to be a specific Python 3 version of this file (afaik). I've rewritten that sentence for clarity.
