Oh… thanks! Fixed in v3.
The package name only apply when used I input, right?
I submitted other patches where I did the same. But it’s a different matter
for Python libraries, I guess!? 🤔

Oh-again! Thanks for taking the time to clarify!
I think I now see what you see:

No more Tcl/Tk, thanks! 👍
If you don’t mind, I squashed your modification in v3.

Mmmm… is it something that has to be fixed in `libxslt`?
More likely, it comes from `python-lxml`. Our current version is 4.9.1,
and one test file (`src/lxml/html/tests/test_html5parser.py`) depends on
`imp` for `imp.new_module`.
This has been dropped in 5.1.0.
