Your call. It's a chicken/egg problem. If Python 3 modules aren't provided, application developers won't use them. If application developers don't use Python 3 modules, people don't worry about packaging them. It's not very hard to support, so I would recommend doing it and help move things forward. The work to properly support Python 3 is in progress, it just isn't done yet. Debian is a volunteer project and sometimes (as in this case) people don't have as much time as they had anticipated and things take longer. We all agree it's important.
