Would it be possible to have python-boto3 and python3-boto3 packages?

Thanks for reporting.

From what I can see from the changelog [1], python3 support was added in version 2.32.1-1.1 and python3-boto is available in Ubuntu 15.04 and later releases [2].

Are you perhaps running an older Ubuntu release, like the 14.04 LTS? When a bug has been fixed in the development (or a newer release) of Ubuntu, the bug is usually considered fixed. In some cases, it is relevant to get the fix into older, supported releases though. I am not sure how much work adding python3-support would mean for older releases, whether it is simply a matter of building the packages or if it would require lots of changes.

I was actually referring to boto version 3 in addition to Python version 3.
Regardless, I have learned that it has recently been added to Debian
unstable

Oh, I wasn't aware of that.

It has also been synced to Ubuntu Xenial, so it will be in the next release. I believe this can be closed as Fix Released then, what do you think?

Sounds good to me.
