Not all of them, and I think it's wrong to think they shouldn't. At
least the ones I've packaged BR python & python-devel.
There are definitely some. I got bitten by that a while ago when trying
to rebuild an FE package in a RHEL mock root. And I don't see any danger
in formalizing that python is an exception; it's been treated that way
for a long time.
