Hi,

Python policy states:

     2.   A single package for all versions (NOT YET SUPPORTED!)

          You have a version independent Python module.  Create a single
          package `python-<foo>' that has a dependency

               Depends: python

          It should install modules somewhere inside
          `/usr/lib/python/site-packages/' and use `#!/usr/bin/python' for
          programs.  The `postinst' script should create symlinks in all
          `/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/' directories that point to
          its `/usr/lib/python/site-packages/' files and compile them.

This may be a dumb question, but why not use /usr/lib/site-python?
Since that's in the PYTHONPATH for all Python versions Debian ships with,
there should be no requirement to do any post-installation of symlinks.

Some .pyc files might possibly be out-of-date, but for reasonably-small
packages that won't be much of a problem, IMHO.
