Package: python3-libiio
Version: 0.15-3
Severity: serious

libiio Build-Depends on python3-dev but debian/python3-libiio.install
specifies python3.6.

On Ubuntu 19.04 "Alpha", the default python3 is now python3.7. That
change will be made in Debian very soon so that's why I'm filing this
as serious now.

I think the usual procedure to fix this is to use a wildcard like
python3* instead of a specific version number in the install rules.

Also, I think it is preferred for libraries to Build-Depend on
python3-all-dev instead of python3-dev so that the package is built
for all supported Python3 versions. I believe there is usually only
one version, but currently Ubuntu 19.04 supports both 3.6 and 3.7
since the 3.7-only transition hasn't completed yet.
