autopkgtest-pkg-python can be requested to use only one python3
version by specifying the X-Python3-Version field in d/control,
first paragraph.  It is a consequence of autopkgtest-pkg-python
using `py3versions --requested`.

That being said, routine-update looks to drop this field without
checking the python3 version selected.  I assume there was a
good reason to drop this field extension in the past, but
py3versions(1) manual does not really hint that this field is
obsolete.  Perhaps switching the build dependency to enforce
python3.11 (or python3.12) over generic python3 would be a
working alternative.  In any case, both methods will require
manual work on python3 version upgrades.

Have a nice day,  :)
