I intend to make python-support use a .pyvers file listing the supported
versions. This file would be generated by dh_python, when using
dh_python -m 2.2 (for just a minimal version) or copied from
debian/$package.pyvers.
Having a new field in the control file diverges from how debhelper
programs usually behave, so I'd like to avoid such a solution - and I
don't think there's a need for it.
The code is mostly written, but the dh_python integration isn't. I'd
also like to remove the "installed" database, I've discussed ways to
work without this one with the RMs.
