it would be nice if this actually worked.  for example, python3-cheetah is 
available in debian10 but not in debian9.  python-pyserial and python-pyusb 
are not available in centos7.  so there are some operating system releases 
in which you must do a 'pip install' (debian9) or pull something from epel 
(centos8) before weewx will run.

unless the package does all of the dependencies for them (or if they want 
additional python modules), users face the dilemma of "do i use the native 
packaging or do i use pip" when manually installing python dependencies.

there seem to be many options, but no unified approach
