This looks like a big improvement, thanks.  However, is it intentional
that it appears to install Python 3 modules to
/usr/lib/python3.X/dist-packages/ by default, rather than
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/?

To reproduce, take germinate 2.12 and replace its debian/rules with:

  #! /usr/bin/make -f
  %:
          dh $@ --with python2,python3 --buildsystem=pybuild

Then watch the build failure, preceded and caused by:

      dh_auto_install -O--buildsystem=pybuild
   ...
   running install
   running install_lib
   creating /«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python3.3
   creating /«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python3.3/dist-packages
