Include python-distutils.mk and declare binary packages with leading
"python3-" in addition to the "python-" one, and the included snippet
automagically invokes the correct Python binary and helper tool.
See sleekxmpp as an example.

Interesting. I suspect, however, that it is still relevant to keep the
snippets for the various build systems. But will be great if they can
be greatly simplified (over time - better not break backwards
compatibility too hastily even if freuently broken in python packages
themselves!).
