I don't agree with this change. This duplication of "depends on" is
going to be really useful when we enable Python packages to be compiled
with Python 3. When we'll do this, we will change the:

if BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON
source ...
source ...
endif

to:

if BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON || BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3
source ...
source ...
endif

But still we will want to be able to decide on a per-package basis
which package is available for Python 2.x, for Python 3.x or for both.

Therefore, I'd like to keep these "depends on" for the moment.

Best regards,

Thomas
