gnu: wrap-python3: Clarify relationship with wrapped package.
The previous description could give the impression that the user faced a
choice between `python` and `python3`, but could not have both at once.
In fact, the packages `python-wrapper` and `python-minimal-wrapper`
already provide both sets of names.

(description
"This package provides wrappers for the commands of Python@tie{}3.x such
-that they can be invoked under their usual name---e.g., @command{python}
+that they can also be invoked under their usual names---e.g., @command{python}
instead of @command{python3} or @command{pip} instead of @command{pip3}.
+
To function properly, this package should not be installed together with the
-@command{python} package.")))
+@code{python} package: this package uses the @code{python} package as a
+propagated input, so installing this package already makes both the versioned
+and the unversioned commands available.")))
