Base Cygwin now requires Python?

Hmm, mintty doesn't depend on cygutils anymore since setup.exe creates
the "Cygwin Terminal" shortcut for it, and its setup.hint reflects
that. Yet setup.ini does indeed contain the following line for mintty:

requires: bash cygutils cygwin

Is the problem that the setup.hint doesn't contain a 'requires:' line
at all (since mintty has no dependencies apart from the implicit
'cygwin')? Does upset keep previous dependencies in that case?
