they stay as long as they are needed. - python2.1 is needed at least by zope and jython - python2.2 is needed at least by zope (2.6.2) and jython2.2 (currently alpha) and probably more packages. - python1.5 should have gone a long time ago ... Debian won't be the python museum on the net. I'll propose it's removal after the next release. I think there is no need to talk about in the policy. Matthias
