Yeah. The lastest *upstream* version doesn't support it. We build it
still (see below).

So if we applied that we'd need to make -script-provider-python
depend on python3-uno instead of the python3-uno | python-uno right now ...

As we do (python-uno), as most reverse-dependencies are not updated yet
for python3. See

#707338 [w|u|  ] [bibus] please support python3 (and python3-uno)
#707339 [w|u|  ] [ooo2dbk] please support python3 (and python3-uno)
#707340 [w|u|  ] [docvert-libreoffice] please support python3 (and python3-uno)
#707341 [w|u|  ] [gnumed-client] please support python3 (and python3-uno)
#707342 [w|u|  ] [src:sqlkit] please support python3 (and python3-uno)

This doesn't break the -script-provider-python but only python-uno
though (see above)

Regards,

Rene
