Hi, Python Policy 3.2 states:
3.2 Programs Using a Particular Python Version """A program which requires a specific version of Python must begin with #!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y (or #!/usr/bin/env pythonX.Y). It must also specify a dependency on pythonX.Y and on any pythonX.Y-foo package providing necessary modules. It should not depend on any python-foo package, unless it requires a specific version of the package (since virtual packages cannot be versioned). If this is the case, it should depend on both the virtual package and the main package (e.g. Depends: python2.4-foo, python-foo (>= 1.0)).""" Consider gnome-osd which depended on python2.4-pyorbit-omg before pyorbit was transitioned. Now pyorbit only ships python-pyorbit-omg which Provides python2.4-pyorbit-omg, but users with gnome-osd installed -- and hence python2.4-pyorbit-omg as a real package installed -- won't get python-pyorbit-omg. Shouldn't such packages Depend on "python-pyorbit-omg, python2.4-pyorbit-omg", even if they don't need a particular version of python-pyorbit-omg (contrarily to what 3.2 §2 requests)?
