This call to update-python-modules is a remnant from the time where
apt-xapian-index was using python-support, as of version 0.47 it no
longer does. The following untested patch should do:

Since python-support is now actively being deprecated (it just got
autoremoved from my system, yay!) this bug is going to hit a lot of
people, so I have upgraded the severity accordingly.
