In all consequence option 1) would mean two more packages,
bacula-sd-python and bacula-dir-python. I don't like it.

PS: I also saw the failed piuparts due to the database upgrade, I didn't
have time yet to look at it. I was hoping the database upgrade extractor
could be revived and gave it a shot without testing or verifying the
