Control: retitle -1 uwsgi-plugin-python3: should cover non-default Python interpreters too

Thanks.

I now understand that you consider Python venv encapsulation the most
common and basic way to use uWSGI.  I don't, and would appreciate an
even simpler way to test this issue.  Regardless, I now better
understand and I agree this issue is real - but disagree that it is
release critical.

Your usecase demonstrates the need for uWSGI supporting multiple python
versions (bug#606530). Unfortunately, due to limitations of CDBS
(bug#868752) uwsgi had to reduce to only support default Python
(bug#865224).

It is my intention (as very vaguely hinted in TODO file) to move uwsgi
python plugins to a separate source package similar to how PHP plugin is
currently handled, which will allow using dh sequencer and thus build
for multiple Python versions.

Since this issue only emerges during transitions (and possibly for
downstream derivative distros supporting multiple concurrent Python
versions in their final user-exposed distro releases), this issue is not
considered urgent to fix, and is not planned to do before this upcoming
freeze.
