I would argue that using a versioned depends like "Depends: python2.3
(>=2.3)" is a bad idea. What does the extra version info give you in
this case?
The only reason to put a version on a "pythonX.Y" dependency would be if
you know there was a particular version of pythonX.Y that your package
doesn't work with.
