This was implemented for Perl mainly and the corresponding patch to
cygport to request the correct virtual Perl package is still not
upstream.

The real problem is that python is multi-version on Cygwin and what's
considered the "main" version is going to change independently of
package releases, so the way it's done for Perl (or any other single
version package that has synchronized updates of dependent packages)
won't work.
