Can you explain why you want to remove python2 from the propagated inputs? And also...say we wrap gnome-tweak-tool. If we remove python2 from the propagated inputs, AIUI it python2 will not be installed and it even could just be that python2 is not downloaded at all under /gnu. How is wrapping gnome-tweak-tool going to help if we fail to make sure that python2 is present? Sorry for my ignorance.
