New description:

 I'm making a new port that used the `meson-1.0` (Oh, how I hate meson)
 portgroup. I'm currently having trouble because meson's python module
 finds `/usr/bin/python` when asked for `python3`; even though both
 ''python3_select'' and ''python_select'' are installed.

 Is this a common occurence, is there a cleaner way to fix this than
 patching the `meson.build` file to say `python3.9` instead of `python3`?

 I'll ask about this upstream also but considering bigger issues than this
 have been open for years over there, I don't have much faith.
