I think postgresql-contrib-py3 is really the best idea at this point, otherwise
I cannot see a clean way to make this without breaking existing installations.

I cannot move those contrib modules under plpython* subpackage -- I mean, I
*can, but then the installations will break in next upgrade. OTOH, I can add
Requires: -contrb for plpython package, then it will be the same problem.

Am I missing something?
