Please reconsider. If you don't integrate that version now, we'll most
probably do the switch to python2.4 in the next days and we'll replace
dh_python calls by dh_python2 calls (integrated for example in the python
package) or we'll remove call to dh_python in favor of dh_pycentral (existing
and in python-central) / dh_pythonsupport (not existing but quick to
create).

And if we go that way, then we loose the possibility to move easily to a
single unified helper tool in the future since all packages would have
again to be modified to reuse dh_python.
