Yeah, or something else confused me. Sorry if I appeared stubborn, I
just want to understand what I do.
One more idea: After checking the upstream sources: The file package as
in Debian 10 ("buster") is supposed to detect "python 3.7 byte-compiled"
but the magic is plain broen. So I will cherry-pick the fix¹ for the
next stable point release anyway. Out of curiosity, was that sufficient
for your request as well, or will you need support for Python 3.8 as
well², now or at least before the Debian 11 ("bullseye") release?

The technical part shouldn't be a problem - creating backport-friendly
packages is one of my major objectives in packaging. I just need
someone who is willing to do the upload.
All the best,
