Meson packages don't call python3-config, but use pkg-config files. Python embedders like libpeas[python] are therefore currently failing to build in their meson ports, because they can't find a python3-embed.pc file during their dependency checks. Please provide the symlink for 3.8 onwards. Not sure if it needs to be a python-embed.pc as well; I'd hope not.
