> I think that optional python bindings should be built irregardless of
whether or not they are actually used by anything in the book. It
simplifies maintenance in the future if they are actually required at some
point, and doesn't hurt anything.

especially in GNOME. Udisks2 does use Python internally, as does gvfs.
Unless we know about a P2 dependency, then we can omit it by default if it
takes a command to include it. I'd say leave in the P3 bindings as we
have P3 already in LFS, but make P2 optional and don't take explicit
action to disable the P2 bindings. Looking at ./configure --help for
volume_key, it looks like picking up P2 is automatic if it is present, so
we probably only need to move P2 to optional.
