python3.9 and python3.6 are the only remaining Pythons that are "flatpackaged".
As they are likely to stay around for a while,
it makes no sense to wait this out (like we did with e.g. 3.7 and 3.8).
This (together with similar change in python3.6)
will make all the packaged Pythons packaged in the same way.
Additionally, this also enables the debug build, which was added to CI.
The code in CPython uses XML_SetReparseDeferralEnabled when expat is >= 2.6 during the build.
However, when users upgrade Python independently on the expat package,
they may have expat 2.5 installed and see errors like:
$ python3.1X -m venv venv
Error: Command '['venv/bin/python3.1X', '-m', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
$ venv/bin/python3.1X -m ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

Thanks to Markus Falb for discovering this problem.
