When I added that I had complaints from CDBS that suggested to use
pyversion...:
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk:67: WARNING: Use of XS-Python-Version and XB-Python-Version fields in debian/control is deprecated with pysupport method; use debian/pyversions if you need to specify specific versions.
So, what am I supposed to do?

I put only the 2 very popular ones, sqledit supports many more.
At the beginning I just put postgres and mysql driver in 'Suggest' but
I think that in front of a very limited disk saving we could just create a
probelm to not expert users that could miss the explanation of what is
missing: both of them are less than 0.5 MB once installed.
So I'd really prefer to leave those 2 drivers as dependencies.
Rebuilding the package should I leave the debian version with -1 or should I
increment it?
thanks again
