The transition to add support for Python 3.6 is beginning

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi Michael,
thanks for all the work on this.
I checked packages in your list that I often touch and found openvswitch:

It fails with:

Copying ovs.egg-info to
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/python3-openvswitch/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ovs-2.7.0.egg-info

Skipping SOURCES.txt
running install_scripts
/bin/sh: 2: cd: can't cd to python
debian/rules:84: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed

That is [1] that I fixed in [2].

In general I wonder, other than your work of fixing these issues
one-by-one, will you just re-upload new versions of the remaining
failed packages iteratively every now and then to see things if like
that resolved? Or do you need us other devs to notify you in any known
case?
