"unstable" and "testing" both have a new "Python Policy" in operation, where
python 1.5 through 2.2 are all packaged seperately and can all be installed
and co-exist together happily. There is also an empty "python" package that
depends on and hence installs the "default" version of python for that
Debian release. The default version is currently 2.1, as that is the upstream
"stable" version that is compatible with most other Python packages.
If you want 2.2, you can just install the python2.2 package and use
"#!/usr/bin/python2.2" in your scripts.
