This has been bothering me for a while. Meson will detect
find_program('python3') as the dummy shim in ${T} defined by the eclass,
and py.find_installation() may be the python that *Meson* was built
with. In DISTUTILS_USE_PEP517=meson-python a dedicated machine file is
created by the build backend but we should set this for other types of
package as well.
