Add python to makedeps, add separate dedup stage
Recently upstream has started running check_whence.py prior to the installation process, to ensure the WHENCE metadata is in the correct format.
In addition, the de-duplication stage is no longer forced onto everyone. So anyone interested, can run the separate target.
Both of those are done by yours truly, so direct any rotten tomatoes^W^Wpraise towards me ;-)

Team, this MR is not tested since I'm not really a Debian person. I'm assuming the idea is obvious enough and the maintainers can take over - commit access to the branch is allowed.
On a somewhat related topic:
- is there particular reason why firmware compression is not enabled? you can easily get 2x (amdgpu) or 3x (iwifi) reduction
- can I offer some virtual
🍪 in exchange for getting the free/redistributable logic in upstreamcopy-firmware.sh --only=free
or alike? ... Gentoo uses a manual list, which could be replaced with your tooling
Happy to swap the virtual
Thanks o/
