Is host-python3 actually mandatory? When BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3 is not
enabled, it can perfectly fine use the host python?

So what about:

 * Using #!/usr/bin/env python in the script, and make the script both
   python 2 and python 3 compliant.

 * Use $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3),host-python3) in the dependencies ?
