Python modules for every supported version

[Fabio Tranchitella <kobold@kobold.it>]

Hi! I'm not (yet) an official dd, but I started my applicant process
some weeks ago so I hope I'll be a DD soon. I'm interested in adopting
python-gd (my package is available on http://www.kobold.it/python-gd). 
Actually there is only a whishlist bug for this package (#223580) which
ask for a versioned packaging for the module. Actually it is available
only for python2.3, but there are no problems to compile and package it
for other version (python2.1 and python2.2) so I did.

I also did a statistical report for the python modules availables in
stable, testing, unstable and experimental, I attached it to this
e-mail.

My conclusion is that there are a lot of modules which are not versioned
and are available only for particular versions of python without
motivation. IMHO, can be very useful if every maintaner have to package
versioned python modules. I know people who use python2.1 or python2.2
and I think Debian should think also about them.

What about the policy? Is there something which suggests to do this?
What do you thing about my proposal?

Thanks in advance,
Fabio T.
