(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

If I understand correctly (and I may well not -- I don't write much
python), this is just a preference issue, and setting
`python-indent-def-block-scale' to 1 fixes the issue?

If that's what's recommended by the standards, should we flip the
default to 1?

I've added Augusto to the CCs; perhaps he has an opinion here.
