However, I believe there's a third option here. It could be as simple as
providing a python3-static in addition, and NOT using `alternatives`.


Is that an option, though?  From the discussion, I was under the impression that static vs dynamic python affected whether or not python extensions need to be linked to libpython*.*m.so.  I'm unclear on that, though because I see some modules today that aren't linked to that library, though most of the ones I checked are.

Currently (python3.8 executable uses dynamic libpython3.8.so):

 - extension modules are not linked to libpython3.8.so by default
 - extension modules linked to libpython3.8.so (by cmake etc.) work just fine

After the change (python3.8 executable is "fat" and contains everything):

 - extension modules are not linked to libpython3.8.so by default
 - extension modules linked to libpython3.8.so (by cmake etc.) might blow up

The extra "python3-static" thing mimics the second behavior, so:

 - extension modules are not linked to libpython3.8.so by default
 - extension modules linked to libpython3.8.so (by cmake etc.):
     - work just fine with "default" python
     - might blow up with "python3-static" python
