We have diverged on a number of points, but would like to know that any
issues we fix are improved upstream, so if we re-sync we don't loose the
fix.  That is, further divergence isn't a show-stopper, whereas this
issue is a major concern to a number of our vendors.

I agree we should treat python no differently any other pkg-config based
dep, if we possibly can.  Let's see your patches and work from there.
