Uh, no, they should *not* do that. Consider what happens when we move
to python2.2 (or 2.3 or whatever) and plucker starts only working with
python2.3 (apt will dist-upgrade to the new plucker, old scripts will keep
referring to python2.1 and plucker, and since plucker only works on 2.2,
they'll all break).
Either Depend: on "python, plucker" (with versions as appropriate) and
use #!/usr/bin/python (or /usr/bin/env python) or Depend: on "pythonX.Y,
pluckerX.Y" and use #!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y. The latter is probably not a
useful thing to do in general.
