Sorry to jumping into this debate, but I also tried debhelper 7 and because of no current support for pycentral, it meant to switch to pysupport. I have no strong preference any of them, in fact I have no idea why I started to use pycentral over pysupport. What surprised me is different handling of XB-Python-Version field. I have XS-Python-Version: current and python-central makes XB-Python-Version: current from this, what I feel is correct (package is pure Python, no dependency on Python version) and package Depends: python, what corresponds to this. However python-support makes XB-Python-Version: 2.5 out of this while still depending on any python version. Is this bug, I'm doing something wrong or it is expected behavior? It is just strange to see disparity between dependencies and Python-Version field. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
