Yes. Just keep the host-python-package one.

Ah, good explanations. Thanks. Please explain that in the commit log
when you resubmit (see below).

> Shall I re-submit everything in a new patch set (split to multiple patches)?

Yes, please. Having the new host-python3-six alone does not make much
sense. If it is followed in the same series by a patch that makes use of
it, then it becones obvious what it is for.

Thanks you for the follow-up with the explanations! :-)
