Sure. The Build-Depends are not installable. I cannot even start building and you seem to have figured that much. > Unfortunately I have zero experience with cross-building.

Annotating python3 with :any is the right thing to do. The :all annotation is not valid unfortunately. You are now suffering the famous "multi-arch interpreter problem" with the new python3-ply dependency. I have little options to fix. In theory, annotating it :native could work, but dpkg disagrees with apt and dose on what that is supposed to mean, so that doesn't work in practise (see #854438). Then we could apply the "multi-arch interpreter workaround" to python3-ply, which means turning python3-ply Architecture: any. This workaround is not universally liked. I'm sorry, I don't have any good options now. This doesn't look fixable with reasonable effort to me. Helmut
