Let me rephrase it: the internals of python-support, and how it helps implementing the python policy, are developed in the python-support documentation. They don't need to be part of the policy and they have nothing to do with debhelper either. > This has now been going on for long enough that I conclude that the > Python policy pushers really do intend to make using debhelper a Policy > requirement for any package containing any Python code. I can't speak for others, but python-support provides pysupport-movemodules and pysupport-parseversions to separate the debhelper snippet from the actual abstraction code. (BTW, for a similar problematic that involves more than a hundred packages, nobody ever asked me how to make a package using GConf without using dh_gconf. Which means the GConf policy has never been written out but is currently defined by the dh_gconf behavior.) -- .''`.
