the first 3.4 release candidate is now in testing, and jchristau is scheduling binNMU for python 3.4 as a supported python version [1]. experimental has python3-defaults packages pointing to 3.4 as the default. I added issues to [2] showing some packaging issues. The most common thing is a generated dependency on python3.x, because a package contains a file/binary with a python3.x shebang. In most cases this should be replaced with a python3 shebang, which can be done with dh_python3 --shebang=/usr/bin/python3. But why not automate this? dh_python3 looks at the b-d's, and if it doesn't find a b-d on python3-all-dev or libpython-all-dev, then it should be safely replaced. Even for packages with a b-d on python-all-dev, in most cases a python3 shebang should be the correct default. Same thing for python2.7, maybe not that important, because nobody cares and we have only one version available. So change dh_python? Or at least add some lintian warning for a dependency on a specific python version? As a side note, I'm currently preparing Ubuntu 14.04 for python 3.4 as the default (with a lot of help from others). You can see the current status at [3].
