I've prepared a change to remove python3-all-dev.

The dependency on python3 seems harmless. Granted, it is currently
implied by python3-dev, but those dependencies exist for different
reasons. I Build-Depend on python3-dev because I am building a Python C
module. I Build-Depend on python3 because the upstream build process
uses waf, which is written in Python.

Upstream is currently discussing rewriting the client tools in Go. If
that were to happen, I would remove python3-dev, but python3 should
remain a Build-Depend, as they'd still be using waf.
