Sorry, I still don't understand.  Can you explain why you want to remove
python2 from the propagated inputs?

And also...say we wrap gnome-tweak-tool.  If we remove python2 from the
propagated inputs, AIUI it python2 will not be installed and it even
could just be that python2 is not downloaded at all under /gnu.

How is wrapping gnome-tweak-tool going to help if we fail to make sure
that python2 is present?  Sorry for my ignorance.
