[Draft] Debian Python Policy 0.2



Packages (mostly) conforming to this policy are at:

    deb http://people.debian.org/~nas woody/

I've updated a lot of packages.  If there is something missing that you
use please let me know.  After updating about 30 packages I'm getting
good at it. :-)


Changes from last version (off the top of my head):

    - Re-order sys.path (not done in the python package yet).
    
    - Packaged modules should depend on python-api-X.Y

    - Remove section on legacy versions of Python (they are
      independent).  I should probably add a section saying that
      packages other than "python" cannot provide python-api-*.

    - Simplify postinst and prerm scripts by including
      /usr/lib/package-{install,remove} in the python package.  This
      mechanism could probably eventually be used to share packages
      between different versions of Python but let's not do that yet.

Please comment.  Thanks.

  Neil
