Not sure what the latest version is, but if this the following file is
anything to go by:

https://github.com/vadmium/python-iview/blob/master/debian/rules

...then it uses pysupport (aka python-support) to for the Debian packaging.
pysupport is considered obsolete, and AFAIK doesn't have (and never will
have) Python 3 support.

See:
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ap-packaging_tools.html

Also see: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2
This page only talks about dh_python2, there is also a dh_python3 for
Python 3 support.
