But which source would be providing pygtk.py?
If a source change is required in packages depending on pygtk, I think
a NEWS.Debian stating about the change is important to have, as well as
some warning here and perhaps on -devel or -devel-announce (otherwise
maintainers of not so commonly used packages won't notice the
incompatibility).
