Marco,

I noticed something a bit odd, which I'm not sure is expected or not.

expected :-(
Not time in the past to work on it.
I was focusing on deploying python38-* as first priority


If I install 'python3-lxml', I get 'python36-lxml', which doesn't do me
much good with 'python3' installed (which gets me python3.8 currently).

When I changed the packaging scheme from pythonX-* to pythonXY-*, 3.6 was the "3" version at the time, and the python3-* created alongside python36-* were
only meant to be upgrade helpers from that point forward.


Ok.  I'm not sure 'python3-foo' just as an upgrade helper is ideal.

Let me explain my use case:

I have a CI job which runs 'setup -q -P python3,python3-lxml'. It's nice if that gets me something where "python3 -c 'import lxml'" works, and doesn't require changing every time the default python version is updated.

there is a bit of cleaning to do on the python3-* tree and package pull,
but first we need to patch cygport to stop creating additional
python3-* packages if not requested.

I guess after the Perl 5.32 I could look on it
as spring project.
