It will allow vim python3 plugins to require on it.

Expanding on the rationale:

vim works with python2 and python3 plugins simultaneously. Those vim python
plugins depend on the vim-python virtual package.

In the case of neovim, support for python2 and python3 plugins is achieved
by using python-neovim and python3-neovim respectively.

As the maintainer of python-neovim, if I would do only `Provides: vim-python`
then some vim python plugins would be broken.
Eg: vim-python-jedi, a python3 package, depends on vim-python. vim-python-jedi
would not work with python-neovim that `Provides: vim-python`, buy would need
python3-neovim that `Provides: vim-python3`

This means that packages that currently depend on vim-python need to be checked
to depend on the correct vim-python and/or vim-python3.


Kind regards,
