In my understanding, FLAVORS just differentiate packages built from the same source with different compile time options (i.e. you have to build them twice), just as is the case here: one module source compiled with different versions of python. That's the reason why I want this problem solved with FLAVORS. SUBPACKAGES on the other hand are just used to split files and simplify dependencies (i.e. one build to package them all ;).
