Sanity? :) First, python doesn't use the alternatives system at all for /usr/bin/python (and should never do so). Second, python minor versions are packaged in parallel because the bytecode for pure python modules is incompatible from one revision to the next. If this were not an issue, I don't think we would spend all the energy that we do providing multiple 2.x versions of python. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
