True.
So we might end up with two versions of Python installed in
$(HOST_DIR): python2 and python3. Hopefully, it should work.
Regarding the patch set, I think I would prefer to rename the current
python package to python2, and have the 'python' package be the virtual
package that provides either python2 or python3. That's indeed more
work, but I find the name "python-generic" not so great.
