Package: mwparserfromhell
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Currently mwparserfromhell only builds support for the default python3
version.  As a result, once the default version switches from python3 3.4 to
3.5, python3-mwparserfromhell will be unusable until it can be rebuilt.  The
best practice (as described in the Debian Python policy) is to build for all
supported versions.  Then whichever is default, the package still works.

Please see the attached patch (formatted as an NMU because that's what
devscripts handed me, but I have no near term plans to NMU).
