Joe proposed on IRC to use "debian/pycompat" instead of a new field. It
sounds very much debhelper-ish and I like it.

What do others people think ?

Several people have concerns with this Python-Standards-Version field
because it may have implications further than dh_python. This
debian/pycompat would solve that.
