IIUC, this would only be a hard dependency if you want to run certain
TAP tests (maybe eventually all of them). Seems like not that much of
a roadblock for somebody that's just trying to build PG for
themselves. I agree we'd want it on most buildfarm animals
eventually, but they pretty much all have python installed ...
