What package exactly is failing? Is it audit? I'll have a look. Audit. But is seems that autotools shoul hard code the old sematics so that all packages do the right thing. It seems that python3 equivalents have been introduced. They do the right thing with the python migration.

Of course. But there is a legacy pyexec_PYTHON and there is a py3exec_PYTHON. What this change means is that they are one in the same. I do not think that is the intention. Because...is there a py2exec_PYTHON? I do not find it grepping my system. And this would need to have been advanced years ago, not today.
