I seriously doubt the two would be fully ABI compatible. I'm pretty sure that's why there's a 2.1 and a 2.2 version of it explicitly in Debian- things break otherwise. Now, an interesting consideration would be if it would be possible to split out the language into it's own package with it's own Depends and then just have it be Suggested or Recommened by the main PostgreSQL package. This is probably possible, the question would be if it's worth it. In this example it sounds like it would be but I don't know if this is very common or not. Personally, I've never used plpython but I've got python installed for various other reasons anyway so it'd be unlikely to affect me. Thoughts? Stephen
