This should be mentioned in 3.1 in the policy.
Umm, since he is choosing the method 2, which is "Support a particular version", shouldn't this be; Depends: python2.1 Build-Depends: python2.1-dev Note that additionaly all packages that depend on plucker _and_ python must use "Depends: plucker, python2.1" and _not_ "Depends: plucker, python (>= 2.1), python (<<2.2)". The second will break when python is upgraded, but the first will not. -- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information.
