Potato's Python version is not relevant for the discussion. Luca was
talking about tools to be written, so what is to be taken into account
is today's Python rate of backward-incompatible changes, which I don't
think is overwhelming to maintain debhelper-like scripts.
Moreover, I do think that two years is largely enough time to cope with
the backward-incompatible changes that happened between 1.5.2 and 2.1 in
a (non-existent) Python equivalent of debconf or debhelper.

Oh no, that would be very frustrating.
