you must depend upon python >= X.Y iff there is a constraint on python, 
and that case just works in python-support.

that dependency is implied by the python-support dependency, so it's 
ugly, but exists, hence the important severity, not the serious one.

I'll try to bug joss again so that he does not forget that bug again, 
but no there is nothing broken, only an annoyance. lintian is not the 
Truth, it's a helper to be near it. What you look at is not even an 
Error but a Warning.
