Thanks!

Speaking of host python dependencies, I'm also wondering about making
the host-python dependency of host-libselinux and libsemanage optional.
Indeed, they are only needed if you want the Python bindings of
libselinux/libsemanage on the host, and you can perfectly fine have a
working SELinux stack without those.

Now the question is what should trigger the build of those Python
bindings. A visible Config.in.host option ? A hidden Config.in.host
option, but then selected by what ? I guess it's mainly host-setools
that needs the Python bindings of host-libselinux. I'm not sure what
uses the Python bindings of host-libsemanage though.
