I've made python packages defaulting to 2.1 (not in incoming) and have
put them on ftp-master.

	deb http://ftp-master.debian.org/~doko/python ./

There is a second (currently empty) directory writable for Debian,
which could serve as a place to collect NMUs for the new schema.

	deb http://ftp-master.debian.org/~doko/python-nmus ./

Comments are welcome.
