No. That only applies for packages that are in *stable* (with python-central) and are now in testing/unstable (with python-support). If the pacakge (it's an ITP so it was *never* in Debian) switches from central to support in testing/unstable is not needed. Document a bit better before suggesting such methods when not needed.
