Not all distros will have a "python3" package. But the modern ones
should.

Because many people install Python via other means, we only install
the system packages if a Python 3 executable can't be found.

Attachment: Bug 1451065 - Require Python 3.5+ to build;

But only if we are:

a) not running in CI
b) running in CI on Linux

We will ideally make the requirement global. But Python 3.5 is not
yet available in CI on Windows and macOS.

This was previously announced in November at
