Or just have e.g. the nmbug-status install depend on the hypothetical
--without-python flag.

That seems sensible in any case. Although we'd have to double check that
the build itself doesn't depend on python.  It might make sense to
distinguish between the python bindings (needed for nmbug-status) and
python itself, needed for the test-suite (at least) and nmbug.
