If this means you rely on autotools to detect and disable Python 
modules, then that's a bad approach: The packaging should be reliable 
enough to compile even when additional packages than those required 
exist in the build environment.

Or expressed differently: Please ensure that the packaging works 
reliably not only in an optimized chroot!

Most likely this means explicitly disabling unwanted build routines, in 
addition to this leaving out the build-dependency required by it.
