This is worrying, a package with revdeps shouldn't have been dropped. By the way, you checked only deps, not build-deps, as at least python-coloredlogs and python-datalad has reverse build-deps. I've also noted https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934333 As for duplicity, the latest upstream version (not packaged) support Python 3. -- WBR, wRAR
