Returning to the original question...

The real question is whether any Python 2 packages in the archive try to
import virtualenv, rather than say shell out to /usr/bin/virtualenv.  AFAICT,
only pbundler does this.  There aren't too many reverse dependencies (or rev
build deps) that I can see, though there are ways such imports could be
hiding.  I basically grepped for "import virtualenv" and "from virtualenv
import".

So let's say pbundler is the only thing other than tox that does this.
There's a newer version of pbundler on PyPI that claims to be Python 3
compatible and I think pbundler is only used as a command line script (it's a
leaf package afaict).

If we just switch python-virtualenv to Python 3-only, obviously tox will have
to be updated, but so will pbuilder.  I'll see if that works and file a bug
against pbuilder, NMU'ing a newer version if necessary.

Cheers,
