Please no. Let's not have multiple solutions to the same problem. This wastes
the time of each maintainer of a Python package who needs to work out whether
they need to use dh_python, dh_pycentral, dh_pysupport or some combination of
the three.

We are on the verge of having a greatly improved Python policy, having that
policy implemented, and finally having Python 2.4 as default in Debian. This
reluctance to settle on a standard way of installing modules is slowing our
progress on all three fronts, and release time draws ever nearer.
