The issue here is that many dependencies are from the module (gnu
packages python-xyz).  Well, moving this python-hatchling-bootstrap and
the next patch adding python-hatch to python-xyz does not look like the
correct home.  And dragging these dependencies to python-build neither.

What could be the best solution here?
