I am the maintainer for doclifter, a Python 2.2 script. Upstream (RMS) claims that it requires Python 2.2, so the script calls "/usr/bin/env python2.2" and the package Requires: python2.2. However, lintian now moans as "python2.2" isn't a valid Python interpreter. I'd say this is a bug (and I intend to report it in a minute) but this does bring up an interesting issue. The default Python release in Debian Sid (and testing?) is now 2.2, so should I change the package to call "python" and change the requirements to Depends: python?
