It all seems a bit much, given that jython is a specialised java tool and not a general-use scripting tool. Random python scripts will almost certainly be run in cpython, which is faster and more reliable (i.e., doesn't rely on bug-free and feature-rich JVMs). Support for multiple versions would of course also be theoretical at this stage, since in 3 years of jython in debian it has never been anything other than some form of 2.1. Having said this, if there is a popular call for jython to be repackaged in order to support simultaneous multiple versions (ready for whenever 2.2 might come out), I'll do it. CCing debian-java and debian-python for comment. (Of course none of this will resolve your dependency problems - the cpython dependency has to match the jython version, otherwise jython will break.)
