FWIW: dh_python2 based packages would benefit from arch:all binNMUs as
well (dh_python2 generates symlinks for all supported Python versions at
build time instead of in preinst). That's not that big problem, though:
Wheezy will most probably support Python 2.7 only which is the last
Python 2.X version. Python 3.X do not have this problem anymore (thanks
to Barry Warsaw's changes¹, some backported to python3.1 in Squeeze, to
make Squeeze→Wheezy upgrade easy)
