    Allow python << dependencies if python-support is used

      + [RA] Allow python << dependencies without Python-Version if the
        package depends on python-support, which doesn't use the
        Python-Version field.  Adjust the long description of
        old-versioned-python-dependency to make it clearer it only applies
        to python-central.  Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz.  (Closes: #525997)
