New review comment by paper42 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38131#discussion_r923682865 Comment: I am not sure what you mean, `$depends` is often autodetected from the ELF header, but python packages are just scripts that are not in the ELF format. Python packages often include depends="python3-something" which depends on python3 transitively, so python3 doesn't need to be explicitly mentioned. A few months ago I went over all python packages that were missing the python3 dependency and added it. You can check dependencies of the resulting package with xbps-query -x or a diff from the last version with xpkgdiff -x or in the CI (which runs xpkgdiff).
