I have updated the Python policy document based on the discussions on
the list. An updated DebianDoc (and HTML and text files) can be found at
http://people.debian.org/~piman/python-policy/.
It:
0) Removes a lot of cruft/debate from the document itself
1) Explains X*-Python-Version
2) Explains that we don't want tight dependencies
3) Deprecates /usr/lib/site-python
4) Outlines using python-support/central with debhelper
5) Tries to cover more on private modules
It does not:
1) Cover CDBS, since I don't know how to use it properly
2) Give examples for Python packages without using debhelper;
I suspect those are now almost impossible to make sanely.
Probably:
1) The "Upgrade Procedure" section needs work (from RMs)
2) I have some details wrong
3) My explanations could be clearer (but I feel it's an
improvement over the old structure)
