I would hope that you also make a python1.5-kjbuckets so that older
python1.5 programs that used it can still use it. You them also make a
python2.2-kjbuckets (2.2.0-port.20011104) package if you want something
newer.
If you want to support the default python, you need a python2.1-kjbuckets
and an empty python-kjbuckets package that has "Depends: python (>=2.1),
python (<<2.2), python2.1-kjbuckets". Or you could wait untill 2.2 becomes
the default python...
