python-apt does not use Debian-style dependencies, it uses the style everyone else uses. And this is documented. Before the new API was introduced in 0.7.9X, some parts were using Debian-style and some were using these normal ones. I then unified them to only use the normal ones because (IIRC) most parts were using them already. APT itself exports both variants, the one we are using is pkgCache::CompType, the other one is pkgCache::CompTypeDeb. Just view it as an abstraction. We can introduce a comp_type_deb in Dependency, though, if you like. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
