Thomas, I am aware that there is others packages that depends on
host-python, mostly x11. But I have not changed the way host-python nor
host-python3 are build and used. I don't understand how the changes I
have made could break this compared as previously ? If I'm not mistaken,
host-python is selected directly by the package (mesa3d for example)
when needed, and this is independent of the selected python package, right ?
