From: Kai Wasserbäch <debian@carbon-project.org>
Description: Make the Python CMake scripts more versatile in version handling.
 The FindPython{Interp,Libs}.cmake scripts need to cater for a set version or,
 failing that, in Debian, set the default version for Python in Debian.
 .
 This patch addresses both issues. (Closes: #569321, #580503)
 .
 Parts of this patch were sent upstream (the "request a specific version" part).
 The part for requesting a specific version was written by Didier Raboud
 <didier@raboud.com>.
