Merge lp:~sil2100/dee/hack_python3_overrides into lp:dee

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hard-code the path to python3 gi overrides, since there's no other easy way of doing it in autotools.

The recent addition of python3 overrides has a buggy Makefile. Since because of it, the python3 overrides overwrite the python2 ones, since autotools only sets the path to the first, closest version it finds (2.7 in this case) - and both overrides are installed to the same place.

Since autotools is troublesome, there's no easy way of getting both paths. We would have to add python3 in the build-deps then too. So what I'm doing is hacking the Makefile and hard-coding the python3 path. Ugly, but we just want it installed.

Not merging it.

We can't take that upstream, it will break distcheck and basically every non-distro install.

review: Disapprove
