Comment:
Already removed the patch from #33591 ;)

Regarding the motivation why they changed it I found
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xcbproto/-/merge_requests/25#note_1061544

> The change in automake was motivated by the fact that PYTHON_PREFIX is not necessarily the same as $prefix. It could be a subdirectory (as in framework installations) or somewhere completely different.

> The next automake release [i.e. 1.16.5] will probably change the default PYTHON_PREFIX back to $prefix for the sake of backwards compatibility. But it's not correct to assume that the two should always be the same. With 1.16.4, you can use the --with-python_prefix configure option to make them the same if that's how you want to configure.
