I think it might have to do with bugs in the way .for loop variables are
expanded.  Try assigning each .for loop variable to another variable
using :=, like this:

.for _name _py2dir _py3dir in ${_SUPPORTED_PACKAGES}
name := ${_name}
py2dir := ${_py2dir}
py3dir := ${_py3dir}

Or try using quotes in the .if tests, like this:

.if "${pkg}" == "${name}"
