I did look at python-mysqldb and python-reportlab. They can use
2.1. I didn't look at python-popy.

well, woody is not yet frozen, and bug fixes (I read: the final
version) are allowed in a freeze. And woody won't release before
Christmas (the scheduled release date for python2.2).

Which tools are this? Basically the error should prevent something like
python (>=1.x), python (>> 1.y).

looks ok. Would it make sense to add a 'Replaces:' line for those
packages without the '-egenix' part? I.E:
Package: python-egenix-mxdatetime
Replaces: python-mxdatetime
Could you copy these packages to ftp-master.debian.org in
~doko/www/python-uploads?
