For completion sake, the problem is that the python ebuilds are
broken. They don't add a python symlink if no python symlink existed
before. This has been broken for a long time, and it's really stupidly
annoying, especially when the fix has been available in the python
overlay for three months.

Push it into the tree so that you don't continue to break my stage builds.

This actually has been committed recently, my apologies.
