Right, I may revert the package for the November release instead. I'm not
sure yet. It depends a bit in the timing.

For Python packages that is a bit fuzzy. In general, 'host-system' means
that PTXdist does not actually built the package, but simply check that the
relevant stuff is available on the build host. The 'host' packages are
actually built by PTXdist.

For Python, things are a bit more complex. 'host-python3' and all
'host-python3-*' packages are there for one specific use-case: To build the
target Python.

'host-system-python3' ensures that Python 3.x is available on the build
host, so it can be used by build scripts written in Python.
At some point, it also checked to ensure that all required Python modules
are also available. But with the growing number of such required modules,
that became unfeasible.
So now, 'host-system-python3-*' are packages that use the Python from the
build host but are built by PTXdist and installed into a virtualenv.

Michael
