Dear Maintainer,

the build option "nopython" was not respected in all cases.
In rules exist a check for nopython in DEB_BUILD_PROFILES, but later in
Makefile.in it will overritten by setting PYTHONVERS again.
If libpython*-dev is not installed, the build breaks with

        Python.h: No such file or directory

The fail was detected by cross builing, but also exist in native builds.

# apt remove python3-all libpython3.11-dev libpython3.11-dbg python3-minimal
# dpkg-buildpackage -B "-Pnocheck noinsttest noudeb nopython" -uc -us

Failing to cross build is not release critical, updating the severity
accordingly.

Hi,

This is actually interesting as the build continues despite the error
(which maybe RC itself). An easy way to reproduce is:

sbuild --no-arch-all --profiles=nocheck,noinsttest,noudeb,nopython -d unstable newt --host=arm64 --build amd64

Cheers Jochen
