cmake/debian/patches/0001-Prefer-default-Python-version.patch

From: =?utf-8?q?Timo_R=C3=B6hling?= <roehling@debian.org>
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2022 21:40:09 +0100
Subject: Prefer default Python version

This patch prefers /usr/bin/python3 as interpreter over all others,
subject to version restrictions. CMP0094 is forced to the NEW
behavior, because the OLD behavior will always end up with the newest
installed Python version.

Forwarded: not-needed
