Good point. Not entirely sure how the mechanics of that would work, given
that we're trying to shorten release cycles down to a couple of weeks
(ideally).

That said, for all other builds we're giving up trying to maintain Python
packages. Instead, we're going to be shipping a pre-built Python venv as
part of the package, built using Python 3.6. Whilst it's not perfect from a
"following the packaging rules" perspective, in other cases we're having to
install modules privately for pgAdmin anyway to avoid conflicts with older,
vendor supplied versions, so it's really just a different evil rather than
a new one.
