I've started doing some trial rebuilds on a system with the test python3
packages installed. I'm finding that cygport doesn't pick up any python
dependency for some packages (such as texlive-collection-binextra-doc) even
though there's a script with a shebang "#!/usr/bin/env python". Marco, you've
probably said this already, but could you confirm that this is to be expected
until cygport is modified?
