I was curious what *.pkg file names from my last
ulk -a run had the py[0-9]*-*.pkg sort of naming
with multiple py[0-9]*- prefxes for the same
suffix. This is for without use of
BUILD_ALL_PYTHON_FLAVORS when py39 was the default.
Note that I've not analyzed which ones might not be
from Python ports vs. those that are for the purpose
of the note. Similarly, I've not analyzed which might
be libraries vs. which are programs (in your
terminology). I've only isolated the naming structure
below.

As the build was for a default of py39, I omit the
py39- prefixed naming examples below, just showing
the extras.

That is it for the non-BUILD_ALL_PYTHON_FLAVORS
style of "bulk -a" that I did in 2023-Dec-18/19.
