Without this change, every catkin package built spams this into the log:

CMake Warning (dev) at /home/mikepurvis/roslib_ws/install/share/catkin/cmake/python.cmake:4 (find_package):
  Policy CMP0148 is not set: The FindPythonInterp and FindPythonLibs modules
  are removed.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0148" for policy details.  Use
  the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

The new policy for CMake 3.27 is: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/policy/CMP0148.html

The replacement FindPython module has been available since CMake 3.12, released in 2.18: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPython.html

ROS Noetic's stated minimum target is the CMake on Debian Buster, which is 3.13.4: https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html#noetic-ninjemys-may-2020-may-2025

find_package(Python ${PYTHON_VERSION} REQUIRED)

# Set these legacy variables for compatibility with what PythonInterp used to do
set(PYTHON_EXECUTABLE ${Python_EXECUTABLE})

I don't think it's safe to just migrate to the new variable names— the ROS 1 codebase is pretty dependent on PYTHON_EXECUTABLE in particular existing, see for example the stuff around message generation:

Amusingly, dynamic_reconfigure does actually call find_package(PythonInterp), but does so after PYTHON_EXECUTABLE has already been used once already.
