That's self-explaining in my opinion. After all that's why a user will
have installed your package. :)

Thomas is right that it's not trivial to create multi-binary packages.
I'd upload your package if you just want to do a package for Python 2.3.
Perhaps you want to look at another Python package though. I believe
that http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-mysqldb.html would be a good
example. Look at the debian/control file there.
