-* Note that httplib2 (openshot REQUIRES httplib2) must have been built
-using the python3 option (by setting PYTHON3=yes in the build environment).
-* Similarly, python-requests also needs python3 to be installed when
-being built but no special setting is needed in this case.
+OpenShot depends on several of its dependent packages' support for python3.
+In many cases, the python3 support is optional in the dependent packages
+themselves so python3 is not listed in their REQUIRES field. As a result,
+automatic build queue generators will most likely _not_ provide a usable
+build queue. It is recommended that python3 be the first package to be built
+and installed before all the other packages required for openshot.
+
+Please note that while most of the dependent packages requiring python3
+will detect the presence (or not) of python3 and build accordingly, an
+exception is httplib2 must have been built with python3 support by setting
+ PYTHON3=yes
+in the build environment.
