Remove it from http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/

Remove this page http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/ (wiki is
more up to date)

Replace this one with wiki too and remove links.
http://python-apps.alioth.debian.org/policy.html

Point everything to wiki.
Update MoinMoin to remove bugs and enable latest features that can
become useful for collaboration. In particular:

 * Add "subscription by default" feature to policy pages so that
everybody who edited page automatically receives updates. This will
increase collaboration rate. You may forward these edits here as well.

 * Upgrade also fixes
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546905 so that
inserting table of content will not be a compromise between layout and
technical limitations
