The problem is then how to deal with a user/admin wanting to use a specific version of a single module and puts it in /usr/local. > --- 2.2.1 Support Only The Default Version, questions and typo on last > paragraph > I think "Build-Depends: python-dev (>= X.Y)" should be Build-Depends: > python-dev (>=X.Y), python-dev (<<X.Y+1)", or doesn't Build-Depends > support that. In any case, >=X.Y is not sufficient to nail it down. I happen not to agree for the build-depends. Having them set at python-dev (>=X.Y) allows for lazy rebuilding at the next python transition. The >= X.Y is here mostly for the autobuilders, as in fact the package could build with earlier python versions if it uses dh_python. > --- 2.2.3 Support All/Most Versions (Including Default), regarding 2. > > Part 2. still includes the unsupported stuff about using > /usr/lib/python/site-packages. There was some discussion about using > /usr/lib/site-python for this instead... should this be updated? The two cases are different: /usr/lib/site-python is meant for the default python version, while /usr/lib/python/site-packages was meant for all python versions at a time. But maybe this should be completely removed or commented out as it is not likely to be supported in the near future. > --- 3.1 Version Independent Programs, comments > The last para about "private modules" should also apply against anything > that goes in /usr/lib/site-python and is only true because currently > there is no mechanism to re-compile version independent packages when > python (X.Y) upgrades.

Well, do you think the wording makes it unclear it is also true for stuff in /usr/lib/site-python? Regards, -- .''`.
