I don't know!  That's the current behavior of the Python updater, at
least when I ran it on fontmake (in our patches tracker at
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64957).

I meant looking whether the package variable (usually also its name) is
prefixed by "python-" to differentiate between a library or a command.
It's not a very good heuristic/test, I'm afraid.
