Well, I raised this on #debian-devel again, and since I think "python2.5 | python (>=2.5)"[1] is just a workaround[2], I was told to forget about Debian Python policy's spirit ("make your package in a way that you will not need additional upload [except binNMUs] once new Python version will be added or removed from supported Python versions list"[3]), *always* use python2.5 in shebang (at least before python2.5 will be default in Debian) and reassign sbuild's bug to policy (asking to forbid alternate dependencies there).
Noah, since I don't want your package to suffer from this, please use python2.5 (only! - without the stuff before the "|") in Build-Depends-Indep and I will upload it. [1] please note the order [2] think what will happen once python2.6 will be default [3] in this case, we will need additional upload once python2.5 will be removed from the distribution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
