yes, it is

(New) Debian Python Policy, section 2.3:
| Your control file should also have a line:
|
| XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}
|
|The python:Versions is substituted by the supported Python versions of the
|binary package, based on XS-Python-Version. (If you are not using dh_python you
|will need to handle this substitution yourself.) The format of the field
|XB-Python-Version is the same as the XS-Python-Version field for packages not
|containing extensions. Packages with extensions must list the versions
|explicitely.
my package doesn't support python 2.3, that's why I have reported bug (other packages
could have similar problem, thats why I used "important" severity)
If it's expected behaviour, please clarify the policy - I asked about that on
#debian-python before reporting bug and nobody told me what you just did
> If you agree with this reasoning, feel free to close the bug.
I have changed severity level, please close bug after policy will be updated
(or is it only me who get it wrong?)
