More generally, it is needed whenever the python2 variant of the
package is more than just a translation of the python3 variant.

For instance, compared to python-lockfile, python2-lockfile has an
additional dependency on python2-setuptools.  The ‘python2-variant’
property allows us explicitly state the relationship between these two
packages.
