I believe both of these are required. It looks like my patch
36753f5cbbcd7c9e00fa3657d918cbe298f48c9c was just plain wrong and
perhaps should just be reverted!

I would very much like to keep libpython3-dev as a dependency as it's
certainly required! ( I discovered that when cross compiling in a
container for RPi - it fails to build the python bindings if you don't
have libpython3-dev! )
