Why use the future tense? This has already happened. Dozens of packages
were NMUed to add these fields while this was not necessary. Most of
these packages could have been just rebuilt with an improved dh_python.
But it looked sooooo much easier to change all these packages so that
their maintainers don't even understand what they should do.

Just wonder why, after that, people discuss of stupid ways to follow the
release schedule.
