Dear Laszlo,

The latest version of apscheduler has just added a build-dependency on
python{,3}-trollius:

apscheduler (3.4.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Patch to don't check for SCM source version.
  * Fix test with Python 2.7 (closes: #884107).
  * Add python{,3}-trollius to build depends.
  * Update debhelper level to 11 .
  * Update Standards-Version to 4.1.2 .

But python-trollius has in turn just dropped its python3 support in
unstable:

python-trollius (2.1~b1-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Ondřej Nový ]
  * d/rules: Changed UPSTREAM_GIT protocol to https

  [ Daniel Baumann ]
  * Updating vcs fields.
  * Updating copyright format url.
  * Updating maintainer field.
  * Running wrap-and-sort -bast.
  * Removing gbp.conf, not used anymore or should be specified in the
    developers dotfiles.

  [ Thomas Goirand ]
  * Stop building python3-trollius. (Closes: #867771)
  * Updating standards version to 4.1.1.

The linked bug shows that python-trollius is not compatible with python3.6.
Dropping support for python3 and stranding its users on the legacy python2
is surely questionable, but the net effect is that apscheduler has
non-releasable build-dependencies.

FYI this prevents apscheduler 3.4.0-2 from being included in the upcoming
Ubuntu release.
