Yes, python is in our base system, but this is actually to make deptracking
work good. As things are, if you do a "cleanish" system upgrade, newt will be
installed with python 2.2 and then 2.3 will be installed.  to avoid cases like
this its nicest if newt was to have a dependency on python, thereby making the
updater-  runs unnecessary.

Reproducible: Always

hrmm .. we don't maintain newt, but no one does.

... despite that, i've fixed the python version so it only builds against on
the current one.
