  Then you then don't have set XS-P-V to all, but something like >= 2.4
e.g., or 2.4- in the pysupport syntax. And the result SHOULD be XB-PV:
2.4- too. So that when python 2.6 arrives, your package doesn't need to
be rebuilt or whatever.

  IOW for arch:all packages, XB-PV should be the same as XS-PV, not the
intersection betweel XS-PV and available python version at the time of
the build.

  And again, it's what dh_pysupport does, and it's the proper thing to
do.
