Dear mentors,

Beware if you do NMU this it will be against the wishes of the Debian
maintainer for spyne - which is me.

The issue is the current stable upstream is does _not_ have Python 3
support.  The version of spyne that does have Python3 support "2.13.4-
alpha".

I personally use spyne in production (which is why I now maintain it). 
I do my best to avoid running code on my systems that upstream has
marked as an alpha release.

I plan to package and upload the Python3 version once it is no longer
marked as alpha code.

Apologies Bastian, I was looking at spyne's home page.  The non-alpha
version has indeed been released today.

How "released today" translates to "plenty of notice for an NMU" is
puzzling.  Why you are asking for mentors to package it given I [0]
said this is also puzzling:

   But it does seem like Spyne for Python 3 will be stable before the
   bullseye deadlines hit. And I will upload it as soon as an I am
   aware it has been released.
