Ok, I did it and also changed test/Makefile accordingly. The patch is 
attached below.  Note that I also added an entry in debian/copyright, but 
that may be wrong.  There is no need to build-depend on libpython-stdlib 
(for the SimpleHTTPServer module), because python3-all pulls it in. This 
patch works here inside my pbuilder.
