Things should not be depending on python, they ought to depend on the specific version of python that they require, if the package is indeed python version neutral (i.e. it does not put anything in /sw/lib/python2.x and does not require a specific python version to run), then the package should depend on python21 | python22 | python23.
The same rule should apply to pretty much all of the interpreted languages in fink.
