It is not strictly needed, but it is still useful to have it because:
- python or python3 might loose its dependency on wchar at some point;
- its conventient to be able to mechanically patch something like this (even if
not automatic, you can pretty much do propagation without thinking);
- it is convenient to have it there in case we ever add something like e.g. a
script that detects when a reverse dependency is missing.
So we generally leave it up to the contributor to decide to add such a
redundant dependency.
