Yes but the release team also wants python2.4 otherwise Steve wouldn't
have participated in the BoF to find a solution.
We'll make it because we're (almost) ready now:
- python-central is available in unstable for test
- a new satisfying dh_python is ready (I'm currently testing it)

Please stop that. It's plainly wrong. Matthias has to handle the divergence
between Ubuntu's python and Debian's python and it's unrewarding grunt work
for him... that's why he pushed so hard python-central because then
transitions are easier for everybody (inclugin him when he has to manage a
Ubuntu transition).
But the simplest for him is when Ubuntu and Debian use the same python
version. So please stop spreading FUD.
