What if a user requests different python version directly or as a dependency
via another port? Obviously, the build would break due to missing sphinx-build
(unsuffixed) binary.

$ make -V BUILD_DEPENDS:M\*sphinx\* WITH=MANPAGES FLAVOR=py36
-C/usr/ports/devel/cmake
py36-sphinx>0:textproc/py-sphinx at py36

Why pretend to support flavors then i.e., request flavor without
BINARY_ALIAS=sphinx-build=sphinx-build-${PYTHON_VER}? Flavors are not a cargo
cult, there're times when they shouldn't be used.

I still think ports r460715 should be backed out to reduce complexity and fix
non-default python version by explicitly not supporting it.
