There will be example packages soon we hope.

In the mean time, I can tell you that you will have to Build-Depends on
"python (>= 2.3.5-6), python-all-dev" and that you should use `pyversions
-r debian/control` to find out the list of python versions that you must
use to build the package with, then your job in the rules file is to do
something like that:

for python in $(PYVERS); do \
    $$python setup.py ...; \
done
