it's useful for Python applications that need specific Python version.
f.e. if current Python version is 2.4 and my app. will work only with
python2.5 and above, I can Build-depend on python-dev (>= 2.5) | python2.5-dev
and set XS-Python-Version: to "current, >=2.5"
example packages: emma, pypar2, gaupol, griffith
BTW: I like rest of your diffs (I don't know much about "Python-Depends"
control field, though)
PS Is it the right time to think about merging python-{central,support}
or is it to early for that?
