Hopefully, this list will not be very long, as many packages depend on
python-base today.  In sid, 37 packages depend on python, but I don't
know how many of these place stuff in /usr/lib/python1.5/

I think this list is the best way to go.  Those packages are broken,
and the Conflicts: line is a nice fix.
