There is already a python3-cmake package.  It is a subpackage of cmake itself:

Yeah, things are veerry complicated about how to handle the packaging of
python-cmake. See some of the discussions in [1-3]. Overall the consensus seems
to be that `python3-cmake` should in fact be removed. There's also some
uncertainty of how PEP725 will evolve which would interact with this.

This review is more on, if we need the python files from upstream, here is an
approach that does not interfere with CMake's packaging, if they would want to
not maintain the python patching.
