After a long delay, I have finally uploaded a new version of python-support. It addresses a few concerns from the release team:
* There is no more database, it is now entirely stateless.
Packages to be installed for several versions are now meant to
be installed in /usr/share/python-support/$package/. Packages
needing byte-compilation of their private modules have to list
the directories of these modules
in /usr/share/python-support/$package.list. For the latter case,
backwards compatibility is provided if the file doesn't exist.
* It is now possible to list the python versions supported by a
module. To do that, create
a /usr/share/python-support/$package/.version file, containing
something like "2.3-" for a minimum version, "2.3,2.4" for a
fixed version list, or "2.3-2.5" for a version range.
With these changes, I will try to provide the necessary patches to the
python policy and to debhelper soon.
