Debhelper 7, Python package, multiple binary packages (was: RFS: python-coverage 3.0.1-1)

I've learned some about creating a ‘foo-dbg’ package [0]. However, I'm
ending up with a source package that installs none of the Python files
into any of the binary packages.

Can someone point me to an existing package that:

* uses ‘debhelper’ vversion 7 or later (i.e. uses the implied-sequence
  ‘dh’ command instead of explicit lists of ‘dh_foo’ commands)

* uses ‘python-support’

* creates multiple packages, preferably including a ‘foo-dbg’ package

I can't find any package that does all of those, but can't really do
better than guess and manually check source packages with trial and
error.


[0] <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/PkgSplit> is really difficult to follow,
    probably because it needs some love from a fluent English writer.
    <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#multiple-binary>
    ignores using Debhelper 7 to avoid explicit use of ‘setup.py’ or
    ‘dh_install’.
