libnewt0-shlibs will not build on recent macOS #1243

Description

It seems that libnewt0-shlibs requires BOTH Python2.7 and Python3.5. Neither of these is available on macOS 15 / Xcode 16 but not sure when they disappeared. Trying to build ca-certificates and not sure why this windowing toolbox is needed but here we are. I believe it is a dependency for term-readline-gnu-pm5341.

Is there a generic "system-python" that could be used?

In looking at the page for lib newt, it seems that Python is optional and doesn't need a specific version.
