Because users will have no way of having both 1.5 and 2.1 on the same
machine as the woody python2.1 package conflicts with the potato
python-base (1.5) package.
If one could upgrade from potato to woody, keeping the potato 1.5
package, and installing the woody 2.1 packages then there would be no
need to keep 1.5 in woody.
There are plenty of users who will need to test scripts on their debian
system which will run other systems which can't be upgraded (for many
different reasons) to python 2.1.
Suggestion: keep the python1.5 packages in woody, and remove them from
sid once woody is released as the new stable.
