It seems that there should be such a variable?  Or am I just dreaming.

There's is no %foo for what you want. You could make the `Type:` field 
be something like `Type: python (-py3.7 -py3.8)` and then %{Ni} will 
give you "boto3" but that'll cause problems in other parts. Also, you 
can't have an unvarianted SplitOff package name in a varianted package 
because then multiple python versions in the same .info would own the 
unvarianted package.

Are you planning on having various python variants for boto3, or will it 
only ever be a single python version? What is the eventual goal of the 
unvarianted "boto3" package?
