This is could be done. But before doing this, I want to clear up my
original decision.
uWSGI binary is linked with Python library (libpython), because it
embeds whole interpreter and serves Python sources with it's own
embedded interpreter. As I want to provide uWSGI for all Python version
available in Debian repository, I've built three separate packages,
which are linked with three separate libraries (libpython2.5,
libpython2.6 and libpython3.1).
If I'll build one package for Python2.X (say, uwsgi-python2), it'll be
ought to including two uWSGI binary (uwsgi-python2.5 and
uwsgi-python2.6) and be dependent on two Python libraries (libpython2.5
and libpython2.6). And these libraries are dependent on correspondent
python packages (python2.5 and python2.6).
So, this single package uwsgi-python2 will be (indirectly) dependent
on python2.5 and python2.6 at the same time.
I think, user will be confused when in process of installing package
uwsgi-python2, all available Python 2.X versions will be also installed.
Does it makes your advice arguable?
