There is no such thing as python-sqlite. There is only python, which
may or may not have the sqlite functionality. In such cases, what you
have to do is:

 1/ At the Config.in level, make sure you select the relevant options,
    i.e BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_SQLITE (or BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3_SQLITE if you
    want to support Python 3)

 2/ At the .mk level, depend on the appropriate package, in this case
    'python' (or 'python3')

Installing with python-package seems to work, but it does not install
the web2py.py program itself, so it should be done separately. Also, it
is a bit weird that the whole thing has to be part of a www-data
writable directory, no?
