Prominent members of the Python teams reached consensus (AFAICS) that
python-support is the better option and there were already proposals to even
include its functionallity in dh_python some day. Maybe we can get rid of
python-central or python-support (or both) some time after the Squeeze release.
I support the suggestion to move python-support and python-apt to standard.
