But my initial thought was option (3) that even with lazy-overwrite we would still refresh the timestamp (touch the generated files).
At that point, lazy-overwrite would do essentially nothing (except leave the originaly untouched when there's an error in the generation process, in which case the build fails anyway, so it barely matters). The whole point of lazy-overwrite – at least for me – is that the generated files, particularly the headers, don't get touched, to avoid having to rebuild approximately the entire codebase. Especially right now, when I'm refactoring the generation script (which should leave the generated files unchanged), that saves a lot of time.

Ticket details:
Current master: even when I run 'make' twice in a row, without changing absolutely anything, the output shows that generate_packets.py gets run. Don't understand why. I've checked timestamps of both generate_packets.py and packets.def, and neither has any weird in-future timestamp.
This is probably mostly harmless in a development branch, but if the same happens (haven't tested) in a build from a release tarball, that breaks a build without python.
