That may be true (regarding the *result*), but is actually an implicit
(and incorrect in this case) declaration of a dependency on the
meta-port(s).

The correct (current) declarative method for "only/any 2.x" is python:-2.7.

The versions we do or dont support are orthogonal to correctly and
accurately describing the supported versions (as per upstream).

As mentioned, there is room for improvement.
