Ok.  I'm not sure 'python3-foo' just as an upgrade helper is ideal.

Let me explain my use case:

I have a CI job which runs 'setup -q -P python3,python3-lxml'.  It's 
nice if that gets me something where "python3 -c 'import lxml'" works, 
and doesn't require changing every time the default python version is 
updated.
