The scan-build tool (and scan-view) is a Python script, so putting it in the base system without Python being in the base system wouldn't be much help.  It would make a bit more sense to have the scan-view script from the base system as a stand-alone port, with an explicit Python dependency, so that it could be installed easily and Just Work™, rather than having something in the base system that required a port to be installed before it would actually work.
