Unfortunately, this leaves someone's system broken if they just
install some Python packages, and leave the packages that currently
depend on "python-base (>> 1.5.2)" installed.
The best solution to this is to get rid of python-base, and have all
packages depend on python-base-x.y or similar. Packages only get into
testing once their dependencies are consistent, and "apt-get upgrade"
won't allow broken dependencies either, so this doesn't really cause
much hardship.
