Comment (by ncohen):

 There does not seem to be a conflict with #17607. But I find what was done
 there *VERY* dirty. A 'clean' way out would have been to
 1) Create a 'standard' virtual 'Python' package with dependency on
 'python_2_or_3'
 2) Make python2 and python3 optional
 3) Create in build/install a rule 'python_2_or_3' depending on python2 or
 python3.

 There would have been no need of adding two new types, and no need to
 change filtered_packages_list.
