Hmm indeed, I don't know why but I started with the hypothesis that it
was a Python extension, but it's a module.

Even if it was correct back then, it's now incorrect to hardcode
supported versions instead of using ${python:Provides} IMO. The
package will be missing the 2.3 provide after the transition which
could theoretically be used by a package requiring python2.3; I give
you that they are probably none.
