Can you please elaborate?

There are no extensions build, yet the autoconf detects libs/cflags/etc
hence it feels like there is a python extension module somewhere. The
pure python module is installed by the upstream build system as is from
lib/python/packagekit/ as is into correct dist-packages location using
automake rules.

Also note that python-packagekit is Arch:all package.

The enums.py is generated, but shipped in the tarball.

At first I did do automake out-of-tree builds with all python2s and
python3s in separate build directories. Only to realise, that actually
this is not required...

python3 support was done by upstream, only packaging is required.

Or did I miss something?
