We don't want to needlessly add host packages. So either the host
package is needed as a build dependency of another package or directly
useful for some specific use case, otherwise we simply don't want to
have a host variant.

So we never add a host variant "just because".

Could you resend after dropping the host variant and adding the change
to the DEVELOPERS file?

Make sure to run support/scripts/check-package on your package.

Thanks!
