Comment (by purple):

 We hit similar problem with vim python/dyn bindings at Arch Linux. After
 googling I came to conclusion that modules *should* depend on python2.so
 at the systems where it present.

 Not linking against pythhon2.so solves no issues and creates a lot of new
 problems that is not possible to resolve cleanly.

 Upstream should not force "modules with dangled python2.so". Instead it
 should always link to python2.so if it presents at the system.
