 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.
