Do these files need to be symlinked to their python 3.12 alternatives in python3.12_utils?
ex. /usr/bin/pdb3 -> /usr/bin/pdb3.12

They are already symlinks when installed from python3 package, and they are linked properly (pdb3 linked to pdb3.12, etc).

Should we modify or add a slice to link python3.12 to python3 and possibly python? Previously we would let the user link these, but If the user is simply including the python3 slice, it may prevent some confusion when migrating between python versions in different releases.

A link from python to python3.12 is not created by the postinst script of python3 package, so I didn't include that in this slice. Besides, linking python3 to a specific python3.x version will cause conflicts when there are multiple python3.x packages in the same release (e.g. python3.10 and python3.11 in 22.04).
Proposed changes
Add python3 slice, which depends on python3.12 slices and add a couple of symlinks over that.
