Given that dpkg-dev is already listed as a hard Dependency of devscripts and given that debootsnap indeed requires python3-debian and python3-requests, the list of packages following 'debootsnap' in the Description stanza of devscripts' metadata should read: [apt-utils, equivs, mmdebstrap, python3-debian, python3-pycurl, python3-requests] -- Plasma
