In addition, the runtime depends on cython3-legacy, which conflicts
with cython3.  So this package will not be co-installable with either
cython3 or packages which have a necessary run-time dependency on
cython3.  If the runtime dependency is necessary, please change	it to
cython3 rather than cython3-legacy.
